Aidan's song.

This is the piece I had in the Black & White ball exhibit (which went extremely well and thank you to all my friends for supporting me by attending the opening night!!). The main fellow in the piece is my brother, Aidan. I neglected to inform him before hand that he was the subject matter and his response to seeing it for the first time as well as seeing it on a gallery wall was quite hilarious. This image was taken before I coated it in resin.......it just makes for a tidier photo I find. Sorry the photo is so small. You can click on it to enlarge. My grandma is in both bubble photos. The top one, of the ladies she worked with in a parachute factory during the seconds World War in England and the bottom one is her and my grandfather (the fellow seated on the ground) with another couple having what looks like a few cocktails.

Black & White Ball!

I have a piece in this exhibition and am quite excited for the opening night reception this evening. I hope it will be a success!

I should blush to see you so attired!

Giddy up!

Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm 64....

You live, you learn....

Well THIS was an unfortunate incident! After pouring the resin on a piece it is rather sticky and susceptible to dust. Therefore it is necessary to cover it with a box to protect it while it dries for a couple of days. Unfortunately for me, once I placed the cardboard box over top, the inside flap folded down and became one with the piece.....a union I wasn't to find out about until two days later when I wanted to peek at it and see how it was coming along. Needless to say I wasn't thrilled. I trimmed the box flap away as best I could and for days contemplated ways of incorporating the cardboard strip.....but alas I realized this one was a goner! It's too bad, I quite enjoyed how the image had taken shape. It was a learning experience. From this point on ward I always make a point to tape down the flaps on the inside. It's not a total loss. I still feel a fondness for this sad piece. It sits in the china cabinet in my living room, a reminder that, in everything we do, we are constantly learning.
