Re-organizing

We moved a lot of stuff out of the studio...
carousel posts, huge freezer, doors, etc...and I'm finally able to get at areas I haven't seen in years.

This past week I've not been arting...
but, spreading out into spaces finally available.

For those more interested seeing what I've been up to...
I started http://lindakelen-artings.blogspot.com/
with my own name in the address, which might make it easier to find my work.

It's to be mostly all arting...
probably a wider variety, as I'm just going to post pictures...
so, little chatter, if any....
except for what is generated from comments/emails....

I think I just want someplace unincumbered with stuff
just for pictures.
.......something new to play with.

SOME DAY I'll have my own official website...
where all will be in one spot.

Some Art

I'm trying to complete a variety of artings between now and the ConventShow/FallArtTour....
and rather than post them individually, I'm just going to gang them here...
unless I find this page becomes a real bear to load.

The PigHouse

It started out as a chicken house on a farm about a mile the other side of that hill.

The story is....
50-60 years ago, the chicken house got moved to be near a newer farm house, a couple hundred yards behind where I stood to paint this....
and stayed planted there until they decided to raise pigs....at which point it got moved far from the house to this side of the barn.

They gave it fine plaster walls and a wood stove to keep the pigs warm.

It was the easiest of the out-buildings to doctor up
for me and my stuff when we got the place 15 years ago....
no one lived here for years....
and the pighouse, unused for 10-15 years before that...
housed generations of vermin.

It's too small, but it's "home"....
all sorts of artings at varing stages of life....
when something is completed,
it goes...either sold, or moved into the house....
but it can't stay here...
I don't like what completed artings feel like in here....
not enough space...
the process is more important to me than the result...
although, I am really hoping I'm able to achieve,
with one painting, a kind of big deal feeling
some religious paintings have...
just because I want to see it.
