Priority...

This beautiful work by Ilan Averbuch, Monument to Time, is in a town so small (20 sq miles) the hamlet doesn’t boast a hotel. The people in the community have their priorities straight though. The first link on the city web page is for the arts council. An amazing sculpture on the mall between the public library and the community swimming pool. 

Oil and pastel...

The Big Questions: Is it Finished? Does the work feel Complete? Am I quitting because I’m Tired of squinting at yellow?

Thinking about this for a show submission in June. After seeing a Picasso at the SAM where he used pastel with oil, I made an experiment and enjoy how it’s turning out. A part of me wants to hang the work upside down. The stalks are so tall, when is the last time anyone has looked down into the face of a sunflower unless it was in a vase?
