Odense Calling

I have been putting off choosing work and sending my registration for the Odense exhibit. I feel bad for being late, but I finally got over the block and put everything together and sent it this morning - before 9am too!

I'm a bit disappointed not to have a painting in there but my Inner Painter is hiding again. I chose five photographs and they all have a water theme. One of them, Kelpie's Lurk, was there last year but there were requests for me to show it in a larger format - and it looks really good blown up even if I saw so myself.






I'm feeling a creative surge coming on after spending the day rearranging my desk. I got rid of the bulky old monitor and replaced it with a flat-screen that a friend no longer needed. I've been wanting a flat-screen for a while but the CRT one is in perfect working order and it just seemed like too much consumerism to buy a new one. This way I recycle someone else's old monitor and @ gets my old one and we will put his old one on Freecycle :)

So now the monitor fits on my wee desk shelf, as opposed to taking up the whole corner part of the desk and I have So Much Space! I twiddled with the alan key and moved my keyboard slidey shelf over to the left desk and I now have this big open space for spreading stuff out on - perfect for a clutter bug too!

It's funny how just a little change can get the energy flowing around a space - and @ likes it because when he came home he saw my face first instead of the back of my head.

    these are wonderful! I like the middle one a lot but the last one the best…it’s magical!

    If you get a chance, come comment on my blog interview with Alsyon Stanford…I need some commenters (and I haven’t heard from you for a very long time!)

    I love your work and especially that mammoth rock/hilly thing at the beach…is that a rock? anyway, I love them all really and found myself really looking at them trying to figure out exactly how you did them :) course, I didn’t!

    also, your creepy lurker post is very powerful….I once had an art teacher in 9th grade tell me the same thing and I didn’t draw for years afterwards….strange and sad how powerful and sadistic some “teachers” can be…

    Tammy ~ *done* :)

    My lack of commenting on blogs is not related to the blogs or bloggers and rather related to my reaction to someone else unhealthy obsession with me and my writings (even the one on other folk’s blogs). I’m over it for now :)

    Linda ~ The rock is the Bass Rock :) A volcanic plug that rises out of the Firth of Forth off the coast on North Berwick. The Bass is a regular feature of this blog and I should probably write a post all about her… Aside from her strange beauty she is home to around 150,000 gannets between Spring and Autumn and has been a gannet nesting site for around 2000 years (or more!).

    Wonderful photography from a talented artist.
