Entertaining; yeah,i am most successful lately in abstracts, not people. heh.maybe I work things out in abstracts,trying for balance, connections in chaos.

AICK SICK

sorry bout the bad typing, my doc says i have carpal tunnel in my left hand, no typee! one hand. i wish everyone here, in all countries, a happy halloween! (i read, they like it in japan? maybe it reminds them of shinto)i'm not very good at Lauscaux, i don't understand it's capabilitieas, gotta study up on it.

Crude pictures of right angle stictch,and beading loom, at least two methods of bead weaving, my new hobby; studying a book,learning all the stitches,and going once a week to a "bead circle" to yak and work with all the other women,and have snacks,chat,while we work. yuk.Fun but challenging.

yeah, just fun

it's occured to me,my color studies are off,so I may have to take "color study"to find out,where i went wrong for years,or I was doing something else with it(taking it literally)and I forgot how to mix them in reality./ ouch. attempt to figure out, what makes what,and how it all goes together again. my backyard roughly,at twilight.

referenced from the boot sitting near my desktop,under a lamp,and I bought these (vinyl) bitching new lady's combat boots (lightweight) they were so groovey lookin. (They are size 11,roomy, so I can put rubber stuffing-dr.Scholl's padding inside).The young sales' lady said,"they are so fashionable right now."(They have been,replicas of them,in fashion magazines for a long time, worn with long socks,or hose.Finally, a lightweight, cheaper, version of them filtered down to us poor fashion nuts!!And they are practical and comfy. Low heels, just what the doctor ordered.

My practice drawing objects, was way off, I'm so out of practice, I'm terrible; thats what it takes to draw stuff correctly, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Otherwise, you forget how to see things,and get em down right. This was fun,and I'm going to wear them with a long denim skirt, buttoned down the front,in the fall and winter. Heavy socks; wish I could find heavy hose,they have vanished, unless you buy really expensive designer ones, practically. I love the punk-fashion attitude. I'm a boomer,and nobody can tell me, I cannot still wear what I want. You young people have no patents on it, ha ha. :) )

practice----thanks, it's probably "heavenly" style, because of my years taking art history; religious art has a tendency to have emotions,coloring,even style, similar to this. I gazed at old masters,for years,admiring them. (I'm not as good as them.) Most of ancient art,even the Rennisance, (spelling!) is either religious,or portraits. it was all counted as "commercial art" of the times. One of my teachers compared one of my best drawings to Rembrandt, and i was so complimented. sigh. (one of my idols.) I admire the great Italian artists,the Dutch, Flemish,and northern countries,too, so it's bound to show up in my work, sooner or later. We have some really great artists on here, also. :)
