“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” – Agnes De Mille

Altered Tin – Wisdom
The Vernal Equinox
Happy Vernal Equinox!
I have been out and about enjoying the nice weather, taking lots of photos. I love the sense of renewal that comes with Spring!
I have also been hard at work in my studio painting a new piece which features a portal and an abstract bird. I will post it in a couple of days or so.
This video shows spectacular images of Gaia, our Mother Earth . . . So beautiful and so fragile . . .
“Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia”. -James Lovelock

The first video shows how to make an altered trinket box.
Awesome! What a great idea for gift giving.
I love this video! A friend of mine taught me how to make these paper flowers years ago, and I had a ball making them for a spring tea party we were giving.
They added such a festive atmosphere to the occasion and everyone got to take one home as a party favor. They were especially a big hit with the kids!
Lots of fun to make, and a great party decoration idea for other events like the Spring Equinox or Easter.
Have a great weekend!

Art & The Human Soul
Hieroglyph of the Human Soul : The art of Leigh J. McCloskey
“Leigh is a visionary painter and philosopher who has transformed his home into an evolving canvas. His environmental painting, Hieroglyph of the Human Soul, crawls up bookshelves, across the floor, ceiling, and furniture of his studio. Filled with archetypal symbolism and alchemical imagery, Leigh’s work is unlike anything the modern art world has to offer. It is an honor to know him, for In my opinion, he is simply one of the great painters of all time; I have no doubt that in years to come his work will be discussed in the same breath as any of the great masters.”
