Beemen

I thought I should try a thin line pen rather than the fatter sharpie I have been using. This is my first try. the birdman world, is coming to life! I am having a blast with these. It is really taking the edge off, my hunger to paint.

The globes are giving me a hard time. I sand and prime them while listen to NPR. They talk about the global environment as I do damage control on my globes.

It reminded me of a friend who worked at a small chocolate shop. Christmas was a very busy time for them. They had to make endless amounts of hand made chocolates. One of the beautiful and tasty treats were chocolate globes filled with various fillings. She had to cast chocolate globe half's, glue them together with chocolate and finally one by one fill them. Weeks and weeks of this process. She related the dialog in her head: making worlds, filling worlds, over filling them and crushing worlds! It was a very powerful position to be in!

I make these little drawings and they look like cute doodles. But it is a place. I visit and try and learn from the creatures there. I am just getting to know these new friends and the world they live in.

It is one thing to talk to your new found friends but if they start to talk back to you, you may want to see a professional.

I grew up in MI, I don't think our forsythia bloomed till mid May. Hang in there, color is coming your way! I love your work, please keep posting it.

vc, I listen to NPR on my computer using Itunes. There is a list of about 50 stations to chose from, from all over the country. it is pretty cool. They also have pod casts you can down load. That doesn't help with the Minnesota dept of ed, but it might just take the edge off.
