When typing the date on the blog --- I almost always think --- its someone's birthday... happy birthday to them ..So here I am waiting for the repair man for the crazy self expressive toilet ... at least my house chooses vacation time to act up so that I can call the plummer or whom ever and not take a day off to do it. Like everyone else I am thinking about the things that need to happen for the celebrating Christmas. Really not much to post... other than I have eaten my share of cookies, I have a to return to mall after a day of bushwhacking through the crowds because the running shoes I purchased are two different sizes... and I am still thinking and thinking about what else there is what else can happen with art making , teaching , and being an artist. A low point? Not at all ... only maybe in glucose because of all the sugar but artistically things feel as though they are turning. I applied to a large outdoor show here in Denver this summer --- the Cherry Creek Arts Festival . Now whether I am accepted or not I won't know until January but it feels good to start turning slowly another direction.
Elizabeth Buhr : past and current work
- The works on paper are painted with acrylic paint using drawing and cut paper. The work is a prayer, a moment in time and a bringing together of a personal/ universal visual language from the landscape, the natural world. The images of the natural world, which are cut into the painted surface.
a drawing a day
- "Do not fail to do something everyday, for no matter how little, it will do you a world of good." Cennino Cennini I'm making a drawing each day for a year. Here are the rules: I have to make a drawing each day. That's it ... no more rules then that.
student art work
- The following album is a collection of selected student works in progress and completed. We always have a great time in the studio/classroom. At times, it feels like walking through mud ... but when we arrive we all celebrate , sometimes quietly, the challenges that we faced and moved confidently through.
artists
- It is hard to pin point any one artist that has influenced my practice , my vision . I always joke that it was the sisters at St. Anne's Catholic Church Saturday art classes that influenced my start. On the following pages is a "living" list of images that have come along to influence to generate ideas and to create approaches.
good listening
