Signs of Art: March 2009

Thursday, March 26, 2009. Build a Ladder to the Stars. This is the first painting I've finished in a LONG time. I painted this for Mila and it's hanging in her room now. Sometimes she points at it and says, "I did that." Maybe that means she likes it. Inspiration was the lyrics of "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan. Build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. ".

Signs of Art: November 2006

http://signs-of-art.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 11, 2006. I've recently lost my oomph for painting. But, I've lost a lot of oomph in general. I'm nearly seven months pregnant, and it sounds cheesy, but I think my creative energy is sapped. My body is focused on baby-making. Which translates to a lot of eating and sleeping in whatever free time I have. Today I had my first art inspiration in months. I received an email inquiry from a New York gallery, asking if I'd like to be listed on their site, in exchange for a mutual link. The t...

Signs of Art: July 2006

http://signs-of-art.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 12, 2006. From Puzzled to Inspired. From Puzzled to Inspired. Last Friday, my first solo show opened at ARTshare 25. Here I am at the reception, explaining the materials and concepts of my piece,. I am certainly proud and honored to be featured and it's exciting to see a collection of my work up in one place. Several folks came by for the reception, and I have even received some media coverage. I had reactions that ranged from puzzled to inspired , and frankly, I enjoyed them all. I was s...

Signs of Art: November 2007

http://signs-of-art.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 11, 2007. It's abstract, but my underlying ideas are specific. There is a work theme (tied to an image I notice in the parking garage of my office). That's this piece. And a motherhood baby theme. This piece:. My reflection at this point is around both the texture and composition of the painting. It feels like two separate paintings, and it's close to being split down the middle (which art-types would tell you is bad- the eye prefers to see things in thirds). Here's the full view:. I wor...

Signs of Art: June 2006

http://signs-of-art.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 05, 2006. I wrote a few months back about taking the leap and ' getting out there. And the trials and tribulations of my first show. Several visitors specifically chose my site to visit, after seeing my work in the catalog. One woman who had recently taken up watercolor painting said she was 'inspired.' Another said I had strong vision. Ideally, I'd like some new pieces to include in my solo show in July. I will keep you posted on any progress! Posted by Lorraine Rossini Hamby @ 4:42 PM.

Signs of Art: December 2005

Tuesday, December 27, 2005. Cigars, Stain and Cornell. Cigars, Stain and Cornell. With readily available materials, some encouragement from an instructor, and inspiration from Joseph Cornell- I have put together a couple of 'painting boxes.'. With several of my recent ideas, my instructor asked me why the pieces should be on canvas. He was encouraging me to 'think outside the canvas,' if you will. Get outside the confines of the square or rectangle. Think of installations, collage, sculpture. Instead of ...

Signs of Art: November 2005

http://signs-of-art.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 20, 2005. I showed my portfolio to an unusual crowd the other day. It included Marge, Cecilia, Ed and Paula. None of them are curators. Probably not even art enthusiasts. What they have in common is old age and dementia. I thought about bringing photos of my paintings, but I worried that they weren't serene enough, or not as universally appealing as a flower. But then I read a feature in the New York Times, The Pablo Picasso Alzheimer's Therapy. Alzheimer's patients at the NY MOMA. They ...
