Hey Arties,

Today, after delivering two pictures to a Guilford Art League show at our community center, and picking up three pictures from a framer, I finally sat in my studio and focused.

I've been working on a picture that I was calling The Tribes, but today the structure they were headed for became the focus of the piece and it has a " Long Road Home"  feeling. Isn't it amazing how I start a picture with something in mind, but have no control where it goes? Has anyone else  had a similar experience?

I have a friend who is encouraging me to show my work on the Cape (Cape Cod) this summer. He lives there and is finding me some connections. I have never been there, but have wanted to see it for many years. This summer might be the time!

Got to go make labels for the back of my work, name of piece, medium, price, and a second label with my name and information. Who knew I would be a label maker? Being an artist takes many hats.

Be here now,(Ram Dass)

As far as paintings taking on a life of their own, I think its true creativity when you can flow into responding to your art without fighting it and it you need to take a left turn where you thought you were going to turn right, just go with it! Looking forward to seeing your current work in progress when its done. Robin
