Studio Normality<span style="font-size:85%;">The FallArtTour is over....and the Convent Gallery's Breaking the Habit show was a sucess!</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I want to thank all who visited my studio....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">who marched through the mud, to climb the "treacherous" rock steps...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">and who used my "lumpy carpet" path through the snow.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">It was a lot of fun....thank-you.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The studio doesn't look like that all the time...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">It was fun to have the arting around for a few days...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">but, it's time to get started on whatever is next....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">the remaining completed work will be put into drawers,</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">packed away, or brought into the house.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Out will come all my scribblings, boxes of stuff, and notes....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">clipped together, taped to the windows or pushpinned to the walls.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Piles of books and things will begin growing again...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">and all sorts of items will begin crawling from the drawers and boxes....</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The studio is for work in progress....it's not big enough for work that's done...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">besides, I'm sort of uncomfortable with completed artings out there.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">So, I put them away...or sell them.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Ha...that's how I lost track of 12 paintings....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I forgot where I put them...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I think I mentioned something about this....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">studio archeology? maybe that's what I called it....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Yeh, I just ran into them not long ago...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Today I found a box of 15 monoprints....</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">while looking for a couple oil pastels I tried to find for someone last weekend.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I'd been looking for the monoprints for 5 months.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The oil pastels will turn up.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">They're just really safe.</span>lkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13432323148535227007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920641.post-1159969880695041842006-10-04T06:22:00.000-07:002006-11-11T19:23:08.783-08:00The

freezer, doors, etc...and I'm finally able to get at areas I haven't seen in years.<br /><br />This past week I've not been arting...<br />but, spreading out into spaces finally available.<br /><br />For those more interested <em>seeing</em> what I've been up to...<br />I started </span><a href="http://lindakelen-artings.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://lindakelen-artings.blogspot.com/</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />with my own name in the address, which might make it easier to find my work.<br /><br />It's to be mostly all arting...<br />probably a wider variety, as I'm just going to post pictures...<br />so, little chatter, if any....<br />except for what is generated from comments/emails....<br /><br />I think I just want someplace unincumbered with stuff<br />just for pictures.<br />.......something new to play with.<br /><br />SOME DAY I'll have my own official website...<br />where all will be in one spot.

PigHouseIt started out as a chicken house on a farm about a mile the other side of that hill.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1897/2339/1600/kelenstudio.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1897/2339/320/kelenstudio.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The story is....<br />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....<br />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.<br /><br />They gave it fine plaster walls and a wood stove to keep the pigs warm.<br /><br />It was the easiest of the out-buildings to doctor up<br />for me and my stuff when we got the place 15 years ago....<br />no one lived here for years....<br />and the pighouse, unused for 10-15 years before that...<br />housed generations of vermin.<br /><br />It's too small, but it's "home"....<br />all sorts of artings at varing stages of life....<br />when something is completed,<br />it goes...either sold, or moved into the house....<br />but it can't stay here...<br />I don't like what completed artings feel like in here....<br />not enough space...<br />the process is more important to me than the result...<br />although, I am really hoping I'm able to achieve,<br />with one painting, a kind of big deal feeling<br />some religious paintings have...<br />just because I want to see it.lkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13432323148535227007noreply@blogger.com0
