Dream

In my dream last night,

I went with my Boyfriend to a Walgreen's drug store.

He sat me down on a stool in an isle and gave me an amazing haircut.

He left my hair long on top and shaved it all underneath.

It felt light & liberating.

Then we went to a shop where I was given a poisonous,

yet gentle, skinny black snake.

I was told to put it in my pocket & go to a HUGE indoor pool.

When I got to the pool, there was a water polo match going on.

I threw the poisonous, skinny, black snake into the water.

It swam around all the swimmers.

It bit several of them.

They all screamed and swam off.

I left the snake in the water & watched it swirl around in the pool.

It looked so elegant and mystifying.

Then, I woke up, breathing heavy & kicking my bed sheets around.

Thank you for spending Hours on the Other Side with me! LOVE & KISSES!

JUMPING/LEAPING

I try to jump, or leap from one style to another.

I try to use many different ideas & techniques.

Other artists have done this, and are doing this.

It's as if 1 artist is many different artists,

creating all types of work.

These are my paintings & drawing that "LEAP."

All from 2010

My friend Stacy came over for a visit.

She brought her dog Margo with her.

Margo had a bright, neon green ball in her mouth.

She was so proud.

Every time she'd chew down onto this ball a sharp,shrill sound

would squeak out of it.

Margo was so happy that she could make this sound happen.

We hung out and played fetch all evening.

The next morning I looked into my backyard,

there laying amongst the deep,natural green colors in my overgrown garden was Margo's synthetic NEON GREEN BALL.

It really stands out.

It's hypnotizing.

Pictures of two drawings. Richly, shaded lines have a sort of soothing, electric pulse glowing within them. It can be meditative.

2010

These paintings are all made on recycled shopping bags.

I just woke up from a beautiful dream. It took place in a dusty, creeky, old antique store. It was one of those antique stores that is filled to capacity with everything under the sun: chairs, tables, old records, funny old dresses, masks, strange little figurines... I remember being fascinated by the old walls of the shop. They were dirty, old, deep-dark gray, crumbling wood walls. There was a feeling that at any time the walls would collapse, and all these magical antiques would fall over and pile up over me – but that never happen. I just kept creeping around the shop, picking out things to look at. There was a tall ivory painted dresser. Each compartment of the dresser had exotic porcelain figurines in it. There was a sleeping dog figurine - A funny little basket of flowers - A woman's hand. I blew the dust off of these objects and examined them carefully. I would hold them up above my head, and turn them around carefully in the rays of sunlight that seeped in through the old gray walls. Then I'd carefully put them back. These figurines would give me such a wondrous feeling inside; like I'd just inherited their histories. Then I noticed a set of stairs down into the basement. I made my way down into this new cluttered, even darker, older space. It was mainly full of old dresses. They were so funny looking. They had paisley and floral patterns on them, were trimmed with lace, and they all had really high collars. The dust was so thick. I kept blowing the dust off of everything. I'd watch the dust fly into the air and swirl elegantly back down onto everything around me. It was a lovely dream.
