		<description><![CDATA[Any of you ever find yourself in a place where you have loads of painting ideas, but the quantity of them almost paralyzes you? I have tons of good material, lots of sketches for paintings, yet I&#8217;m getting into this self-critical mode in which nothing is quite right, or perhaps I worry that it won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick post this week, time crunched (agility last weekend in Spokane - we finished Suka&#8217;s Excellent Jumpers title - and travel for a commission over the next few days)&#8230;but wanted to share some terrific online art resources that I&#8217;ve discovered lately. Then again, maybe everyone already knew about these except me.

		<description><![CDATA[

So reading all these books on contemporary art gets me juiced up, and I&#8217;ve been messing about in a rather experimental fashion. Specifically, I&#8217;ve been slathering whatever&#8217;s left on my palette at week&#8217;s end onto 11&#215;14 pieces of Yupo, and doing so with no particular intention aforethought. Yupo is sheet polypropylene, blindingly white and amazingly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What spawns this post is another library book (in this case, &#8220;Contemporary Women Artists&#8221;, by Wendy Beckett - Universe Books, 1988&#8230;30 years ago contemporary, anyway) celebrating Post-modern artists of the female persuasion.
There&#8217;s a piece in the book titled &#8220;Dark Green Painting&#8221; by Edwina Leapman, 168&#215;183 cm (about 4 1/3 x 4 3/4 feet) which is [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been promising a look at my library, so herewith commences the first in a sporadic series of posts about my propensity to collect art books.
At some point, I&#8217;ll take a photo of the whole shooting match (whenever I can get off my lazy butt to do it) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working my way through a massive library find, Artoday by Edward Lucie-Smith, which attempts to survey modern art from 1960 to the late 1990s.  It&#8217;s an enormous undertaking (the book, not my reading of it) and both interesting and thought-provoking.
F&#8217;rinstance &#8230; I perceive a bias on his part against representational work. Maybe he [...]]]></description>

In 2002, I spent 2 weeks in early June in Rocky Mountain National Park as an AiR (Artist in Residence). It was wonderful! There&#8217;s an historic old cabin built of stone and [...]]]></description>

The residency experience at the Montana Artists Refuge was absolutely  incredible.  I wondered if I [...]]]></description>

I take pleasure in both process and product. But most of my zen and enjoyment comes from the doing - drawing, scraping, texturing, layering, lathering on paint - and engaging in a conversation with the piece [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every workshop has its own character and personality, which is part of the joy and inspiration for me. One of the things I stress in my workshops is drawing without noodling; a prior workshop dubbed this &#8220;no scritchy-scritchy&#8221;, and the most recent workshop (June 2008, a few days ago) said &#8220;no stinkin&#8217; dinkin&#8217;&#8221;.
