I had an unexpected moment of kindness today. The Clothesline Art Show was today in Hudson. When I stopped at the show this afternoon to work my shift, the members of my group told me that a family had been in, and one of their daughters had spent some time looking at my drawings. She […]
I’ll admit – it was love at first sight. I came ’round the corner, and, ah…there it was. At the Avant Garde Art & Craft show last Saturday, I wandered away from my table to see the other vendors. I went out one door and when I came back in the other, there was Andrea […]
Ah, the sense of satisfaction of completing another batch of paintings for Art-o-mat! Miles and miles of cheerful little paintings just make me happy, no two ways about it. For this batch, I did 100 paintings instead of my usual 50, and I tried some new colors. I’m happy on both counts. Doing 100 paintings […]

This small collage had me thinking of a typical morning in Marc – sun coming up through the cold air, trees still bare, and the snow melting into gray slushy piles. This is 6×4 inches and is made of various papers with a few lines of top stitching.
The Ohio Collage Society Show, 3.5 x 2.5, opened tonight at the BOX Gallery in Akron. It’s a show of small collages by members of the society; see it before it closes on 4/16. It’s a terrific show with somewhere between 75-100 works. Most artists submitted 3 or 4 pieces and they’re grouped together, giving […]
During the 2010 election campaign, I got so much literature from people running for office – it was piled up in my mailbox, hung on my door, scattered in my landscaping – that I got fed up with it. So I tore it all up and made a collage out of it. It is now […]
Spring Omen is a collage made from bits of paper, a photo, some leaves, and a few lines of machine stitching. I have entered it into the Hudson Society of Artists 2011 Members Show.
