The Rubik's Cube - Out of the 'Scratch Box'.....

The home that was P.E.N. Studio was sold and razed for development.  What once housed P.E.N. Studio consisted of over 800 sq/ft.  It has since been relinquished to aproximately 8 sq/ft.  Masterpieces are stored in various storage units around SoKno and in every crook and cranny possible in the humble abode. 

My son refers to my working space as a Rubik Cube.....boxes upon boxes contain thousands of dollars worth of art supplies and works in progress.  He said he was going to come over one day while I was out kayaking and clean house for me.  ♥ Memo to Jay:  That would surely be the death of you and a lifetime in prison for Moi'.  My ART and ART supplies are my LIFE and PASSION.  ♥  Never come between an artist and their creative outlet.  Just sayin'....... Love ya' Jay!

The creation of art is the passion. The completion of art only ignites another creation. ~ Jeffrey Breslow

Out of the box came a WIP....the eagle.  When I began scratching again it only had the eye on the board.  If you are wondering what Scratchboard it please refer to my scratchboard page

Not so 'Daily' Art blART - Out of the Closet

For the love of tiny treasures tucked away in musty closets, timeless tempera, and childhood memories........a painting from the past.

 My Mom says this piece is not for sale....."it's priceless!" 

Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain a child once we grow up.  ≈ Pablo Picasso

Have you ever watched a child paint?  Their complete and utter concentration?  The scribbles, the dabs, the dribbles.......the sweeping motion of the paint brush?  Oblivious to anything or anyone other than their new masterpiece?  It is a gift to watch a child paint with complete abandon.  Invest some time in your child today.  The memories and the masterpieces are "PRICELESS".
