Compilation of my artsy shots while in Denmark and Stockholm






Susan Philipsz coming to Chicago in December

While in Stockholm every morning we received the Global Edition of the New York Times. While sipping on coffee over looking a canal towards the Palace I noticed an article "An artist whose work 'sounds like stars'. Reading the article that enticed me I learn that Susan Philipsz who came from Glasgow will be coming to Chicago to the Contemporary Museum of Art in December.

The article reads as such" Human yet ethereal, soothing yet melancholy; invisible yet strangely physical". (written by Gemma Halsey) Susan is does environmental art. The article read that hauntingly beautiful music of her voice played under three bridges in Glasgow. I will be curious to see what she does in Chicago!

Another Study...



This was a 3 hour study at Gerries studio. I am really loving painting from life. It just takes me away....like meditation. Now I'm working on a painting of my oldest son who is an avid hunter. I told myself after working on Makenzie so diligently that I would take a break from people...but...here I go again.

I really liked just starting out painting...so this is what I did with Scott -and of course the 3 hour study. With Scott I am just in the correction process...getting it down and correcting measurements...so I guess you could say this is the drawing stage.
