Tracie Thompson, Artist: Springy Stuff! And I'm Sick.
http://traciethompson.blogspot.com/2015/05/springy-stuff.html
Tracie Thompson, Artist. A World of Painted Stories. Monday, May 11, 2015. A day or two after Saint Paul Art Crawl, I got sick. The cough still hasn't gone away, and I've been working steadily at my frame shop job all the while, because some other folks have been out of town. I hope you'll all have the chance to do something similar, now that all the lilacs are blooming. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click the image to get to my shop. St Paul, MN, United States.

Tracie Thompson, Artist: Beyond "Yes" or "No" to Charity Auction Requests?
http://traciethompson.blogspot.com/2015/02/beyond-yes-or-no-to-charity-auction.html
Tracie Thompson, Artist. A World of Painted Stories. Sunday, February 1, 2015. Beyond "Yes" or "No" to Charity Auction Requests? Today, I got yet another. Well-intentioned request to donate my art. Once the initial flash of irritation passed, I had to acknowledge that this charity auction trend, and the damage it does to artists, is in large part our own fault. We've allowed the perceived worth of all. Our work to be driven downward by every piece that goes for 20% of its value on a "silent auction" table.

Tracie Thompson, Artist: Poetry is for the Birds
http://traciethompson.blogspot.com/2015/05/poetry-is-for-birds.html
Tracie Thompson, Artist. A World of Painted Stories. Monday, May 4, 2015. Poetry is for the Birds. What you see here is my design process as I prepare to frame this raven of mine. While I don't consider myself a poet, some of my art sprouts verses as I work on it, rather by accident. I have chosen to add the verse to this one when I frame it. In this draft, you can't read the writing well (and I've got some layout issues which I will correct in the final version). Here's what it says. Life as an artist.

Tracie Thompson, Artist: Sketches from life at Chez Greyhound
http://traciethompson.blogspot.com/2009/07/sketches-from-life-at-chez-greyhound.html
Tracie Thompson, Artist. A World of Painted Stories. Monday, July 20, 2009. Sketches from life at Chez Greyhound. We named the dog. Indiana," said Sean Connery to Harrison Ford in that wonderful movie - and so Indiana the Greyhound got her name. She loves to lounge around on her back, and I love how she looks when she does. Above, Biscuit the Greyhound. She's a cute girl too, but not as inclined to strike lovely poses for me. These drawings have all been sold, but click here for more Greyhound drawings!

Tracie Thompson, Artist: Remember the Owl?
http://traciethompson.blogspot.com/2015/03/remember-owl.html
Tracie Thompson, Artist. A World of Painted Stories. Monday, March 9, 2015. I finished it last night, quite late, like the owl I've always been. And it may just stay that way. This is 17" high and - I say this because I've had a couple folks ask if that was an actual, stuffed owl - no owls were harmed in the making of this art. The owl is oil paint and black pencil on a thin piece of tin I found discarded around an old barn. I want to thank Bob at Front Yard Video. Labels: art from salvaged materials.
