I've been sorting and discarding

but these are some of the keepers from 2009.



Hope you enjoy the show.

Stunning Meri! You present such a variety of subject matter, style, composition. I would be SO proud of all of those. I do love them all but I always lean toward the ones that take the concrete and interpret it as abstract. Great work.

Fantastic show and pics! I'm still trying to organize and upload more of 2009 to Flickr. Now you have reminded me why I should! Love your "eye" for images.

I remember many years ago in college taking a photography class with a great teacher. Much to the despair of those of us who had inherited a Leica and were there, or so we thought, to learn how to used it, he made us take our first shots with a Brownie. Seriously. He said it wasn't the camera, it was the eyes of the soul that captured time in a piece of film.

These are the best examples I have seen of his theory lately. Great show and all of them keepers without a doubt.

OMG. My eyes usually overdosed when I saw your work one at a time...a slide show like this and I'll never recover. I either have to start looking harder through the lens of my own camera or simply throw it away. You are the goddess of light!

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)

Art Journal Pages # 34

Image
It's been a while since I worked in my "real" art journal, the one I collage and draw in after having painted the watercolor paper pages with liquid watercolors. Well. . .  painted is probably not an accurate depiction, since I usually saturate a wadded up paper towel  and smear the damp paint on, or maybe sponge it on. And then wait. And wait. Waiting for the page to dry. Then I begin to glue various things onto pages with Yes paste or acrylic gel medium. And wait again. It can sometimes take two or three days to find just the right things for the page, adhere them, and wait for the layer to dry so I can build in the next one. Meanwhile, the thickness of my art journal expands like an unruly waistline. Digital art journaling, on the other hand, is much tidier. And quicker. And just as layered and nuanced. I make these babies on Polyvore.com. If you're interested in learning how, email me (meriak@y...
