The Secret, and Painting and Drawing

These three pieces are currently at Womanmade Gallery in current show The Secret.

The opening was concurrent with Drawing on Experience, where I also have one piece. A lot of fun, some good conversations. I circled through the gallery, including the two solo shows, several times. A few pieces caught my attention again and again - so take a look at the online exhibits and see what catches your eye. (Link to Charak’s solo show. Link to Rosen’s solo show.) Sorry not to have any crowd shots to share!

On my mind since then is juror Nancy Charak’s question: what is the difference between drawing and painting? While some media would tend to produce drawings and others tend to produce paintings, this isn’t necessarily true, so the line isn’t drawn there. And there are drawings done in pencil with such amazing gradients that it could be a painting, yet I still call it a drawing. Painting media can create drawings, but can drawing media create paintings? I wonder where watercolor pencils fall. So, the difference between drawing and painting. What do you think?



This was fun.

It didn’t start out like this.

Wow, I love my onboard webcam.



Up, up, and away!

Design-realized.com is at last underway! For those who missed the beginning: This year I decided to go after a couple of shows, and was accepted into both: NSUC ART 2007 and the Bucktown Arts Fest. Design-realized fits into the grand scheme by giving me a place to organize and stash ideas, and share photos of new work. This is going to be fun!
