I like spontaneous looking paintings, like <a href="http://www.quillergallery.com/">Stephen Quiller</a>, who is one of my all time favorite artists. I feel like my painting voice is coming back and that makes me happy. </div>Artist Cridhehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17214267522692980978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387441676349480248.post-36208093799821385442011-03-08T02:52:00.000-08:002011-03-08T02:53:16.062-08:00<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">When Renoir was an older man he was afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis. During the last years of his life the pain was so bad he was confined to his home and he painted on in great pain. Matisse was much younger than he was but they were good friends and Matisse often visited him. Once when he was watching Renoir paint on in pain he asked him how why he continues when it was obviously so painful to him. Renoir replied "The pain passes, but the beauty remains."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

To be patient as the Lord refines and shapes us, but ever with the hope that when the pain passes, the beauty will remain.

Am I the only one who feels very nostalgic about the Cosby Show? They were so nice and normal when my own family life was so crazy. I watched it every Thursday night as a kid. I get such a kick out of looking at the clothes and stuff. My daughter commented on how we were so into crazy , bulky sweaters. To True! To aquire a new cozy sweater was pure bliss in the 80's. And we did like things bulky, at least on top. And the colors are so bright and primary and solid looking. Maybe that's why I went for tie-dye-too many clearly defined edges! Anyway, it's funny to watch them again. I think we are on like season 6. In I think 4 days. Kind of bad, huh. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

And some of my favorite company to do that with are my girls.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last week my girls got invited to do some voice recognition recordings for a doll thats being developed. The ones doing the developing needed samples of girl's voices from the targeted age groups and my girls were invited to come do some samples. Always up for an easy $20 (well, mostly always) and an excuse to head into Portland we grabbed the chance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Grilled P&J. Sound wierd? They were so good! Fiona got the Oregonian. Hazelnut butter, blue cheese and I think strawberry jelly. Me, the Thai, orange marmalade, hot pepper sauce, hmmm... can't remember the rest.. But it was really good. And Irene got one with peanut butter, bacon, and I can't remember what else. Hers was sooo messy. But they were all really good. I thought the whole idea of the stand was really fun and creative though. We'll definitely go back when out that a way.</div><br />

</div><div>Anyway, we wanted to have a blog solely dedicated to art-what we are learning, projects being worked on, and other artists that we like. We both are Etsy addicts and are always amazed at all the creativity and talent we see!
