Holidays

Sunday, December 20th, 2009


We have been through some rocky times. George had a kidney stone that got stuck , and he was in crazy paint for 9 days. Finally Doctor Turzan did a surgery. Even after, there were a few attacks. Everybody says it is worse than childbirth.

Good news is , my friend Majka got a clean bill of health. She does not need to do chemotherapy.
Hip hip hurrrah!. Now, get back to painting Majka! No excuses.
I sent a Holiday card with a painting that I re – worked this summer. I got some beautiful comments. Here is one, from Paul Pauper of Form / Space Atelier in Seattle.


Your painting reminds me of a silent film by Jean Renoir, 1927 : Charleston

Parade (Sur un air de charleston). An inexplicable moment comes in the film

when these winged heads are talking on the telephone to a charleston dancer

and a blackface explorer. As I said, inexplicable. But that was the Jazz

Age and everyone was soused to the gills on bathtub gin. I commend your

thoroughly original painting. Thought-provoking.

alterrealism

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009


It is so exiting to start the alterrealism adventure! Working with Steve Yamaguma and Joshua Peterson, the movement members, we are making progress , working on a definition and a manifesto. It has been two years since I came up with this idea, and not being good with words, started asking for help in verbalizing the idea. More to come.

Here is one of my latest paintings. I have been working a lot and have a series of about 9 paintings. I will post them when I finish the last two. I feel very exited about it. Mable Yee and Sylvia Paul are coming this Friday to see them. Can’t wait to hear their comments.

I don’t even now how to describe my feelings about finding out that my best friend Majka has a lung cancer. I was 17 when we met…. and life was exiting and endless. She had a surgery, and is doing OK. Lucky it was caught early. She is a wonderful painter, and the best friend one can have.
