It is 4 days into a new month..May 2012.  It is wonderful to be positive and alive and creating new works.  There is so much to look forward to in this town.  NaDa, Reno Open Studios and Artown.  Reno is a very art oriented place and getting more-so by the day. 

I am working on 4 works at this time.  I like to have several going at once in case you tire of one and the tedious details called for.  Gives you a break and something fresh to go to. 

I was describing a first work I created after I had taken a deliberate "time-out" in my life.  It was a peaceful and quiet work, unlike many bright and colorful works that I am known for.  It is done in soft hues of pinks and quiet greens called the Fairyland Unicorn.

I got back to actually feeling the real emotions of why I need to paint.  I totally emptied my life of chaos and uncertainty.  I was safe and stress free for 15 months and this soft non-threatening work was the result.  To me, it is not really the me that is in there.  I am not used to the blandness I feel when I look at it.  But in reality, there are so many diverse parts of the human psyche that become involved in a work, that who knows??????  Nobody knows your state of mind like you do...hence...anything is possible.
