October

Well, ok, almost the end of October.  I am SO inspired by the blogs I follow and especially by PINTEREST.  Yes I know the evils of Pinterest for us "fine artists".  I don't take another's art and post it as my own.  I don't try to change it or add a label to it that compromises it.  I just post it.  It is to me like ripping pages out of a magazine and pinning them to the wall of my studio (which I also do).

It is hard though because I understand "fine art" and creative license.  It is harder when you get to photography, or fashion or styling.  A painting or sculpture is a product.  What are pictures of a fabulous home that is for sale.  I wouldn't copy them or call them my own but is it stealing to post them on Pinterest?

So, moving on, I have a painting in New Mexico right now at the wonderful Encaustic Art Institute.   The show is coming down.  Upcoming events are open studio tour where I will be at my friend Nancy Evans' studio. 

This is the one in NM.  I entered three and this was my least favorite of the three.  Funny how it seems that often the works that I overlook seem to speak to someone else.  These were the other two in the series.
