Laura, I really enjoy your approach to collage. As you guessed, I'm a huge Fred Otnes fan. Thanks for reading my recent article in ArtCalendar magazine. You could easily become a printmaker.  Warm Regards,

August 2nd,

heading out shortly to spend the day with other collage artist. A whole 7 hours of creating, swapping and sharing.  Too much fun for one artist. 

more later.

Thanks for the comment on my work Laura.  Your work is wonderful.  It feels like a visual interpretation of my dreams.  Does that make sense?  Thanks again for your kind words.

I just have to throw this out there to anyone who might be reading.  I've heard at one art show three different times,  "I want to see something different not the same art."  You know like Tuscany picture you see all over.  These people were thinking that no one was listening from behind the booth side but I was.  I thought that was wild.  Is that true are people looking for something different?  Well I know I don't fit in the europe area don't travel there and my work is usually from things going on right around me.  But it did get the curious side thinking. 

Comments???

Just finished my art fair show season and looking forward to the studio again.  I've had to focus on the show and getting everything down to what needs to be taken care of when I'm not at thehome stead too.  I do have some running this week to take care of and a small show to put up at a library.  yes I know what is a library that's not a gallery but I feel its starting to work an new area when I do a library show.  Getting people to see the work.  But that is on Thursday I set up about nine piece.  Tomorrow I had out to the city of Chicago and switch out work at one gallery and pick up work from another.  Then prepare for my class at night.  Last one and we will have a critque night too. Just rambling a bit.
