Happy Birthday! I keep coming back to this piece of art. I can’t remember the last time this has happened, particularly with abstract art, but there is something in the color, shape and movement of this piece that so speaks to me. I can imagine it hanging on my wall and my just sitting in front of it, gazing at it. Hey, ever thought of making prints of your art? Remember, I am first in line for this one!

All the best to you for a glorious year ahead,
Karen

Isn’t it amazing how the “wordless” creativity calls you in? After thrashing for months with writing, I found myself in my art studio space ripping through projects with glee. Sometimes I think creativity needs a change.

I wanted to also send you this link. Golden is a brand name. They make paint, gel mediums,and specialty mediums. I really like their products and they are available at the large chain craft/art stores.

They have artists teaching local classes on color mixing and the various mediums. The “Golden lecture” is a fabulous class, they bring all their products and you get to play and see what you love for the class price.

They make a product called “Tar Gel”. That isn’t made of tar. They created it for the movie “Pollock” so the actors could use an acrylic medium that would flow the way old style oil paints would. The stuff tints, and lays in layers and does all sorts of cool stuff in collages.

Their link for classes in the North West is:

Enjoy the dive into the paint and collage.

From one craft junkie to another,
Enjoy your birthday and break!

Just want to wish you a happy birthday and a restorative month off that’s filled with exactly what you need to thrive. I’m looking forward to the release of The Life Organizer and seeing your new Web site. We’ll all be looking forward to more of your wisdom in 2007. Can it really be only a month away?
