Creating is like love.  You can envelope yourself within your paper or you can love it from afar.  A drawing can be a simple sketch, like date or it can be a dance for two.  I draw for the interaction…

Push comes to shove is a fascinating experience.  You are indeed pushed beyond the comfort of your being.  On the plus side... and there is ALWAYS a plus side, you have a great deal of say as to how you…

It's the holiday weekend: vacations are commencing, people are partying, grills are basting, fingers licking and restaurants and rides enjoying and for most... simple relaxing.  Either way... let's get this party started : ) Britt

This is the initial outline for today's sketch... more to come tomorrow.  I'm interested if the changes I'm considering now, occur tomorrow, after sleeping on it. Doing a few too many projects tonight to add this in. Britt : )

Every guitarist has to wait to play at some point and if they are constantly creating their own riffs and woorlings then that wait can be excruciating at times.  Mine is just that.  Still waiting for all the pieces to…

It's been a while, but I think I have lift off for the first time in a long, long time.  As a flyer, I've always equated myself with Icarus but since the great crash, I think Wilbur and Orville will…

One of the facinating things I've learned about this past year and a half is that one's brain goes a bit mushy after trauma and stays that way for a long time.  Mine was preoccupied with healing after last year's…

Ttoday's piece is about my complex and busy world, my little microphone of expression and the few little bubbles of sound It makes that inevitably float in between and past everything as I just continue on... doodling as I do. Britt

The Party is clearly well under way : )  I usually do my drawings in a single shot, sometimes taking a second pass here and there but this particular piece I did once light and then decided to go back…

  Britt : )

Sometimes ideas traipse across the brain like a high wire act dancing from string to string.  What appears to be a jumbled smattering, pools itself into focus. It's a nice way to spend the afternoon; especially with a warm cup…

If you're lucky, every once in a blue moon you find out you misinterpreted all the puzzle pieces. It's not always a bad thing.  Sometimes, a little embarrassment now can be better than a world full later.  All you can…

I am especially susceptible to sound.  It's an integral part of my being and how I interpret all things.  I can hear the smallest changes in resonance.  To me sound is touch, feel and space all rolled into one.  It…

Wandering through negative space with plinks on a wire.  I like this space.  Unlike most of my works which are purposely flat for designs sake, this space has enough negative space to wander right in, step over and under.  The…

Today I just wanted to relax and draw for a bit.  I've been burning the candle a bit lately. Love the lower half of the piece; it's me, and my play.  The upper half however, is less purposed.  It's kind of…

All those little ducks that occupy my life are lining up and waiting to be hoisted upward and balanced in place.  So far I am feeling stronger every day.  It seems all is in fact going to be well on…

I've been metaphorically stumbling about, feeling my way through the dark for months now and without any confirmation as to where the hell I was.  Mostly for obvious reasons and some not.  This stumbling, tumbling and being kicked about by…

Joy dances freely without judgement or fear.  It simply bubbles up smiles.  Hope you all have lots of it this weekend.  Happy Easter everyone. : ) I'm thinking of shading in the two sides and the upper triangle... that should…

This work encompasses all the craziness I've endured the past Year.  The lowest part of the page are the first little efforts of mine to cough up a bit of me into the world after the surgery and losses.  The…

Had a lovely exchange.  I hope it's the first of many...   Britt : )

Some of you already know this story, but for those who don't here is how I feel today: A lot has been going on in my life of late.  I've been driven to distraction by one last giant heap of…

After days of meandering about my current state I've decided to do some simple structuring.  One run around the rectangle with nothing but a ruler.  What I love about these particular spaces is that the light and space is ever…

So, here we are...  Well more realistically, here I am.  I don't even know who the "we" would be as readers of this blog are concerned. I live in a very lonely art world built for one.   I have…

OK... so a year ago, I was in no physical or mental shape to tell a soul about my mother.  I wrote a fairly inane poem, but it was heartfelt.  But now it's one year later... My mother was a…

My attempt at drawing the taste and love of eating apples.  The image, complete with seeds begins at the base, unravels up to the top with seeds and all as though being eaten and enjoyed.  The upper third is the…

I am an easy mental traveler and Universe is my playground.  A fluid imagination can take me to far locals in a breath, however the things I need to do are here.  It's not easy constraining myself, but I must…

In the middle of numerous complex pieces in addition to being inundated with work.  So, this project slayer has fallen behind.  Mostly because I've been Facebooking too much to get away from the realities of grief.  But now all is…

The story of ...   I wanted to have the feel of cut paper tapped on sticks.  Hopefully it worked.  Just a doodle I suppose.  The bird hangs from marionette lines so that it can fly about the stage with ease…

The great thing about art and life is traversing through space with nothing more than a tendrils thought.  There, the soul of your drawing can float about a space, fluid and be all encompassing.  A drawing's soul rarely gets to…

Had a tough Monday.  Despite not feeling well, I managed to make it through the first day of a great new job, although I must have looked a bit peeked.  By the time I made it home my body was…

This is the world I live in.  As an artist and a human, I'm never bored.  I don't even know how to do bored.  I've set me life up so that it rarely if ever comes up.  So today is…

I'd love to have something brilliant to say here, but I'm afraid I'm all out today.  Been preoccupied with my father's safety in Japan, which had appeared secure until the nuclear threat popped up.  Trying not to be a worrier…

Fascinating morning.  For the first time in 15 months I woke up fully focused and feeling like I was actually living my life and not visiting someone else's.  After laying there, gently squeezing my temples, I got up and walked…

I am ................... Here! Britt

After a 'one of the mornings' I'm wrapping up the day with one of those relaxing evenings.  TV is off, I have Kenneth Clark's The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form and an oversized sofa to enjoy it on.  Just…

So after yesterday's therapeutic and frustrated drawing rant I decided to take said drawing and render it. Funny enough I had envisioned something else entirely, but ended up deciding to go with a far more graphic feel than the fine…

So, It's been 15 months since my daily life was derailed. I have now fully recovered from a long ten month surgical recovery, I seem to be heading forward despite all the major deaths this past year, I am creating…
