Joe & I
walked around frozen Estes Park Lake under the full moon, the Blue Moon- quiet, beautiful, romantic. Got the year off to a good start.
I am having fun playing with new – to me- art materials- I laid in a heavy matte medium gel on the gold background of my “Nurture Your Soul, My Dear” painting & textured it with big rubber stamps. Painted some more gold on top then laid in some greens-liked the texture- did not like the color- but now it was deep in the recesses of the texture.
Got out the belt sander & sanded it down- still too gold & green
so laid in some crackle paste last night- you can still see some of the layering underneath- like it! I think I will stain the crackle paste a faded aqua. I am definitely riding the waves of “oh, I really like this painting” and as the wave curls over & crashes down”Oh I really, really don’t like this painting”; the wave starts to rise:” Oh, this painting has possibilities- I think I’ll just PLAY!”
Mostly finished with the Transformation Assemblage:caterpillar into butterfly- don’t know what I will title it- any ideas? I want to put special totems in the metal boxes-maybe having to do with chakras…
I wish every one a VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY & FUN New Year!!!!!!!

Love what you are doing!!! I gave a presentation on BALI yesterday to the Progressive Club in Carlisle, Arkansas (pop 2,304) where my Mother lives! It was GREAT going through all the pictures again!!! I told a lot about rice cultivation since Carlisle is in the prairie of Arkansas and is all rice and soybean farming! Love the description of your walk around the lake with Joe!!!
