Yeah!

Okay, I finally will get to sort of teach sculpting again beginning in early January at Teale Street Sculpture Studio. My hands will rejoice in poking wet clay on Saturday mornings to the handful of novice sculptors attending the workshop. There is no set structure, but from what I understood several of the students will need hands on help while others would just like some feedback. Looking forward to instructing in three-dimensional work.

Getting down and dirty

My problem of trying to get creative is moving past the tedious, endless, boring, drudgery chore stuff, before I am able to hit the glorious and juicy, sloppy, grungy painting or building - what I call art making pleasure.  I'm sure some of you who are creative probably have this done to a science or a maid to get the work done. I need a few elves to come by while Bellini and I are slumbering to help me out. The problem stems from having my studio share the space along side my living space. I get distracted from my artwork to go kill a dust bunny in a corner that is taking over a larger pile of debris. No, I am not a slob. Then I would be able to ignore the dust, dirty dishes and assorted piles that accumulate while I work. Instead, I work, make a mess and then spend an hour cleaning. Make another mess, spend a half hour cleaning and so on. I've decided that I lost the battle on dusting for the most part and just will stick to keeping the dishes clean.

New Studio, new work!

Aah, at long last back to the easel and work table. I know it's been awhile since posting. My bad, I have been dealing with the curve balls that have thrown my way and keep trying to hit them out of the ball park. Gotta remember that you don't always have to try for the home runs a punt could score just as well. Okay enough with the sports metaphors.
Pictured are scenes from my new work space. I moved into this loft back in July 2010 and have finally gotten under way creating some new work. I feel energized and motivated in this space which I haven't felt in years.
