Rust And Ink
After making the walnut ink I got busy on some rust prints. I don't think they are finished but it is helpful to photograph them to get a different perspective.

Making Walnut Ink
All summer long I told my Dad I wanted to collect the walnuts once they fall from the tree to make walnut ink, some how I never got around to it. On our last day in Wisconsin my Dad surprised me with a bag of the now rotting walnuts he picked up under the tree. Thanks Dad:) I found instruction to make ink here...simple to the point, how I like it.
The pot of soaked walnuts ready to boil...Not sure how long I soaked them. I sort of forgot about them, must have been about a month.
Testing the ink.
A messy process, don't wear white...but it all washed up, no permanent stains ,well except for the cloths.

New Studio
It is a lot of space, YEAH! So far I have managed the cold with plastic on the windows and a space heater my dear sister Denise gave me. Summer will be another story, but never mind that for now.

Paoli Bridge
There is a sweet town in Wisconsin called Paoli. You can park your car an walk the length of the town and visit several art galleries and restaurants. It makes for a good afternoon. You will have to cross the Paoli Bridge which after hundred or so years is showing it's bones. Of course it melted my heart and I had to capture it.

Not sure if it is done but I will let it sit for a while and see.
One of the great galleries in Paoli.

Not much time to blog lately. Moving into a new home has totally occupied me for sometime now. It has been one of those summers/year where life has gone through many changes for me, more then I can keep up with.
The summer spend in Wisconsin was a productive one. Not only did I have precious time with my beloved parents but I also soaked in all the bucolic atmosphere possible. I find it very healing, soothing and inspiring. About a month in I noticed it's influence showing up in my art. I decide to just go with it and see where it would take me. I call the series "A Summer in Wisconsin" . It will be hung at the Bright Red Studio show "AbstractRed" next week!!!!
If you are close by I hope you can come for the opening, I would love to see you there.

The Barn
I did this painting in May. It is done in oil paint mixed with a beeswax and damar paste(cold wax) on canvas.
Recently while driving through the Wisconsin country side, actually right next to a town called New Galrus I recognized my painting in this barn!
