Upcoming art exhibit

 I was invited to send two pieces in for the group exhibit of the Plainsboro Artist Group in October, so I thought you'd like to see.


22x18, watercolor and chalk, Red Orchid 

and 


8x8 Hibiscus, black ink

They will be shown in the gallery you saw in Wednesday's post, which I founded. In fact I founded the artist group over thirty years ago. So they're kindly letting me know I'm not forgotten, really nice considering it's years since I was active with them. 

The current art scene is strong, especially considering the size of the town. 

So for various reasons I accepted and included in the reasons is

Creating means all kinds of creating, gardens, meals, lesson plans, animal care, as well as the arts.

Happy day everyone, keeping well is also resistance.

  2. To create is to keep the individual alive, thinking, expressing - all of which must represent a challenge to a small class who wish to oppress and exploit the massive majority.

    1. Yes, this. So the answer may be to encourage everyone to create, not to see it as a special talent reserved for a few.

  3. I like them both, but the red orchid is lovely. Working with watercolour and chalk must be very satisfying, I think?

    1. I don't think I'll ever retire from making art! And it's a safeguard if art is strong.

  8. Yes. It is a very good thing to have been included and you deserve it for your art, as well as for your founding of the artist group.
    I have always thought that the act of creation (of all you list, of course) is as holy as it gets here on earth.

  13. Love your artwork and how nice to be included still. To create is to resist. Excellent advice and something else to focus on.

    1. It's good to remember what we do as resistance. Your bringing up Jack is powerful resistance, bringing love to overcome sad events in his life.

  14. Watercolor and chalk! I wouldn't have guessed the chalk, and the watercolor would have been just that, a guess. Nice to know what goes into a work of art (other than pure imagination.)

    1. Quite a few people have wondered about the chalk!
