Beyond the Studio

As I read other artists' blogs it is gratifying to see that we are all in search of subject matter for inspiration to draw and paint.

In these last few days since coming on board, I have overwhelmed myself looking at the wonderful works of artists mentioned on Annie Salnes's blog.

All this to say that going Blog requires one to look up and out from the discipline and safety of the studio and join hands in the name of creativity.  Art making can be isolating and insulating.  Extending one's self to not only the community but to other artists balances out a need I became too busy to notice.

The second posting is a gesture drawn from notes taken at a rehearsal with Alonzo King Ballet.  His company is high on energy and dynamic moves.  I rally whenever he comes to town or nearby :)

Such a dynamic, beautiful, muscular line. Reminds me of a dancer I once was involved with.
