I've taken my heart in my hand and placed three of my paintings in art shows. I've been asking myself what I really want to do before it's all over and I waft off to dreamland. The answer is ART. I don't actually care a fig about making money, but I DO care if people like it, although that wouldn't stop me.
The first painting is of my mother's homeplace in eastern Kentucky. The old home was destroyed this summer (both burned and bulldozed) and that weighs heavy on me. Sooo,
Mama's Homeplace has been placed at the
Painted Cow Gallery in Louisa (my hometown) for September Fest. If you're at the festival, please stop by and see it.
The painting is taken after an old photograph (upper right) and done in a primitive (think Grandma Moses) AND cartoony style. The style makes it happy, and it WAS a happy place. Enjoy, and
stay tuned for progress reports.
