The art forms/mediums I've been up to have not been so much on the ceramics side. Straightening the house so that some one may fall in love with it and buy, swirling squash and apples with rice cereal so that Wren may make an interesting design on her high chair while I attempt to feed her and working on my commissioned paintings of the cats. I wake up sometimes thinking I'm just going to unpack that wheel out in the garage and buy a box of clay and sit out there and throw and then I remember all the above things that I should do. I went to this lecture recently about making a living as an artist and one of the things that stuck out in my mind was that, "everyone and everything is conspiring against you and your time to make art". Funny but kinda true. I have finished the second of the 5 kitty paintings and have one more after that, a nice play on "American Gothic" someone has asked for that should be fun. It won't be long, stay with me and check back often. You might be looking for me and find Wren and I one day very soon throwing at the wheel, hands dried with clay and loving every minute.
