Collaboration is the ultimate test of compatibility
It’s been a long time since I was willing to collaborate as a test to compatibility. It takes a good bit of trust to paint a big project side by side with another artist. It doesn’t always go well. And “not going well” is in a big portion of my life book. But, just as…

A retro project to promote conservation
I love retro stuff. For example, you know the cut-out art you find at fairs, carnivals, and seaside fun parks? The kind you stand behind and make a goofy face when you pop your face into the cut-out hole to put yourself into a fantasy image of muscle-man or mermaid in an underwater sea? We…

The word lecture conjures up feelings of
tedious penmanship and boring blips of relevant and remotely promising material. If an article that has the title “Art lectures this week at Flagler” is accompanied by a bust shot of a suit and tie then that feeling expands into dreaded forced discipline and numb butt from a too-small-chair. The word lecture never generates a…

Artwork for author Heather Hamel

Scott provided the border design and lettering for consistency with the 2012 Celtic Festival Poster. Michael F. Clark created the biggest possible file with layer on layer in his photo…

I tip my coffee mug to the idea of goals. Keeps us from blending into our surroundings and keeps the momentum going. Of course a good day on the couch with some fav movies is golden. But, we have these things that are undone. One thing that I want to get done is my vintage…

Home Gallery
The only thing constant is change. It’s in my nature to find the optimistic twist on most situations. Saves me from despair. Well, there is “des-pair” of shoes which helped me feel better during a dose of retail therapy. Let’s talk about getting your art to hold a place of value in your daily life. …

Space and the Time Continuum
Let’s play a game of math. Maybe science too, as it applies to art. Take the idea of art as a two dimensional variable. Then, as the third dimensional component add space. For the final factor add time as it represents the fourth dimension. Right about now your mind should be wandering to Douglas…

Aviles Street Gallery
Saturday and Sunday were my days to gallery sit. Good chance to chat with artists and visitors who go gallery browsing. Tourists really appreciate this gallery since it is all local artists and most of the artwork is inspired by local scenery. My heart just sings when I hang out on this street. Wish I…
