a peek at what is on my easel
acrylic on bristol paper
"life is not a straight line.
life is a zig-zag."
maira kalman
i am a maira kalman fan, her wit, her eye
and her sensibility and humor.
her a new children's alphabet book
is irresistible....except for the fact
that i am still decluttering, a bag out
of my house a day, minimum and i am not
adding anything to until i have
completed the process. but i just wanted you
to see how charming her pages can be. maybe you
can buy the book and tell me about it :)
i tend toward the obsessive in the sense that whatever
i do, i do it one hundred percent. things get
confusing when several important events or activities
coincide. as it does now, where i am decluttering and
have an upcoming solo show. i do my best.
thank you for visiting today.
i would love it if you had the time to drop me a line.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness Irene this is pretty. I thought of Monet pond paintings right away. I love the way acrylic looks on bristol paper. Is it a smooth paper? I can't remember. I might have to try it some time, but like you, I am decluttering too.
ReplyDeleteI love her work also. I didn't realize until recently she has many books. She is really funny too.
I love the colours and the movement in your painting, Irene. Thanks for letting us take a peek.

Such a beautiful painting! The colors are gorgeous - the pink and the green are amazing! Good luck with your show, and with the decluttering. I get several decluttering moments during the year, and they are liberating.
