silly me!

This self portrait was done for a project put on by Art House Co-op , www.arthousecoop.com . The skinny; create a self portrait (2-D) send in an 8x10 original or photo of your art work. Then the cool part, they make it into a book(for sale) and have a show. Neat! BTW- I heart toast! BTW x2- It's hard to see the fishing line I hung the beloved toast with, but it shows in the final print. And yes, that was on purpose.

This was created for my art group, WIP(works in progress). Nan, a talented painter, gave us each a 6x12 inch white canvas board. The theme was " tree" . I created mine out of a white paper bag. The ground is covered in ripped up pages from a mini dictionary.

Art does a body good.

I had the honor of teaching a photo/art class last week at Brookfield Academy. The sophomores were in a "lock in" and were given the opportunity to learn new skills outside of the everyday academics. All three classes greeted me with a warm welcome. The best part, they seemed really into the project. Some even came back later to work on it some more!

I was invited to teach a photography class at Brookfield Academy high school this week. The challenge, having only an hour. After asking countless creatives friends, I decided to go with my dear & talented friend Roxane's cool idea. The first image is of a transparency. Second is the bottom layer. The third is the finished project. Hope the students dig this idea!

Guess what I am?

While out scouting last week. Can ya guess what it is? Good guesses(see comments) and thanks for playing! It's a faux wood grain siding on a house.

Ho Ho HO

I know, I know it's well pass Christmas. I just couldn't wait another 11 months to show you this ginormous Santa! What I wonder is where do you get such a beast and then where do you store it? And WOW kinda neat! OK this just in from a reliable source, my friend K.lee. She used to live near this house. And said they have been putting this big guy up for at least the last 20-25 years. It originally stood in front of the "Cookie Cookie" house at the old Capitol Court Shopping Mall. That is where Santa used to visit with the children.
