Collected Thoughts
The gentleman does not give away his thinking easily. Though he is purposeful, confident, even swaggering, and seems to be going places. Still he is hard to read. Staring intently into the space ahead of him, arms swinging as if to launch himself, he is strangely rooted, though he has 4 legs. A bit ghostly,…

Strata Various
I sometimes like to do a deep dive into my flat files for forgotten work. They are bulging with it by now, so I guess it can be characterized as a sort of Swedish Flat File Cleaning. I’ll find old studies, test proofs or retired monotypes that I will offer for sale after years of…

Twigs and Berries
I promised a look at MoPrint events not specifically related to my work. These are still up for a little while, in some cases, just days. I saw these with friends on lighthearted social outings, and did not take notes, so artist info is scanty, but please take my word on how striking they are.…

State of the Art
MoPrint Grows a Medium MoPrint 2024 is finally done now, and there’s a sense of relief for me. It’s hard work, and there are a lot of details and dates to keep track of. Sometimes, I get so busy and tired, I don’t get to see everything I’d like to. This year I did pretty…

Twigs and Berries: Life’s Been Berry Good
I have the luxury of time lately, which is very good for art. A regular studio routine is great for following up on ideas, and midweek days to work on framing, etc, without feeling rushed or stressed by deadlines, makes one feel more professional. The weather has been vivid. I’m taking more walks, looking at…

Twigs and Berries: Shady Doings
I’m not doing a booth at the Summer Art Market this year. After about 25 years or more of doing it, I wanted to take a break. That doesn’t mean I won’t be there. I plan on being there, volunteering and posting on social media. And my artwork will be there too, at least one…
