A glimpse of part of the Radium Girls installation....

Some Pics from the Studio!

Here are some pictures of the Radium Girls masks in relation to the
fabric that will be part of the January installation at Future Tennant Gallery.

Another shot of the Radium Girls masks.... two in the back are unfinished.

Here, I'm working on a linocut for the Pittsburgh Print Group online gallery.

"Rocket Girl", a framed, mixed media work, is on its way to a
collector in Mission, Kansas.

"Women in Water: Freckled Mrs. Goldsmith" is also on its
way to a collector in Mission, Kansas! Hooray!!

Radium Girls exhibition, Woman in Water, and Light Grey Art Lab's 2013 Art Swap!

Working on Radium Girls exhibition pieces. Under the larger drawing may look
familiar. It is a page from the graphic novel in progress,
titled "The Color of Silence is Radium Green".

This drawing will be part of the Radium Girls exhibition that will appear
at Future Tenant Gallery this coming January.

Another "Women in Water" drawing is underway!

Savannah is participating in Light Grey Art Lab's Holiday Art Swap!
My art swap partner is Minneapolis-based illustrator Sam Lorang.
I can't wait to see what he creates!

Things are happenin'!

This week, while waiting on a new manuscript I'll be copy-editing, I've been
working on finalizing some of the drawings for the Radium Girls exhibition,
which will appear in the windows of Pittsburgh's Future Tenant Gallery next
January. I'm not in the studio here, but in the living room, watching all those fun
court shows (like Judge Matthis) that run on network television during the day.
So entertaining!

"Magic Snail" has been accepted into Limner Gallery's
"Small Works" exhibition. The show will run between the end of
January and the end of February at Limner's Hudson, NY location.

"Women in Water: Pisces" is on its way to a collector
in Kansas, along with....

"Women in Water: Jeanette Dreams of Laundry". They
should arrive today!

Some studio shots....what's been happening lately...

More Radium Girls masks are underway...also, I've been making some linocut prints
in anticipation of my Pittsburgh Print Group meeting in mid-November.

So I've been really busy lately, especially since I've begun copy-editing manuscripts for a press in New York (Yippee! It's a really nice gig.). However, today, I got some studio time, and I'm continuing to work on the Radium Girls exhibition pieces. Here are some studio shots!

Shown here is the under-painting on the Radium Girls masks. I build color up layer by
layer.....these both have a ways to go.

And a long view of the studio space....

More Radium Girls Masks!

Mask #3 is complete, except for its protective top-coat, and Mask #4 is underway...

You can see Mask #3's freckles a little better in this image.

Mask #5 fresh from the oven!

Images from the Studio - Radium Girls Masks....

 Both last week and this week, I've been working on elements for the January Radium Girls exhibition at Future Tenant. Just below are two of the seven polymer clay masks that will be part of the exhibition....

New Radium Girls Drawing and homemade pizza for dinner....

Another drawing for the "Radium Girls" exhibition installation that will appear
at Future Tenant Gallery in Pittsburgh in January 2014

 So I'm continuing to work on pieces for the Radium Girls exhibition that will appear at Future Tenant next  January. I actually finished this image on Monday, while waiting for the gas man to check for leaks in Pittsburgh. I'm working on other images now, which I'll share very soon.

Yesterday, our 'boyz', Jasper and Fred, went to Oak Ridge Boarding Kennels for a 'spa treatment'. Well, let's face it, Jasper,  a shepherd collie mix, is a veritable hair bag, and we have him shaved so I don't go insane chasing dog-hair-tumble-weeds through the house with the vacuum every day. Angelo and Jody, who run Oak Ridge, have a chicken coop and a wonderful garden, where Angelo grows fig trees. He shared some figs with us, and I made a 'dessert pizza' with them (pic below!)

Pizza for dinner! At left:  Pesto eggplant and the queso blanco we made on
Monday night and at right: queso blanco with figs and honey. YUM!

What's happening in the studio right now....
