We're on the run up to next week's
2011 Tucson Open Studios Tour. So, of course, I'm all over the place: cleaning, raking, looking at images, hoping to paint more.

There is this work in progress, 'no name' painting, 8" x 8," on artists' board, that may get done before next week--prolly not. There is this one that I really, really want to throw paint at, 'almost named' on 30" x 30" canvas. Whew! I might just start it and work on it while people perambulate (Howz that for building one's vocabulary while stressed?)

I received several postcards yesterday, highlighting the 5x5 Invitational at
Westmont Museum of Art. I sent in my piece, Peak Red on Paper, just before deadline, so my name is not included, but check out the site as the auction draws nearer the date, November 20th through December 16th. I'm hoping that you'll be able to see my work in with the rest.

However, of interest are quite a few artists I admire. You may also want to visit their sites too.
Squeak Carnwarth
Mary Lee Bendolph
Mary Ince
Helen Garber
Carol Burnett (
that Carol Burnett?!), and a few guys too!
Oh, yeah...
And, me, Melinda, Oh, MY!
There are works by:
Ed Moses
John Baldessari
Robert Mangold.
Have a look!
For a smidgeon of context (turned around), a summary for now, may your approach follow
the dictum "ut pictura poesis"--"as is painting, so is poetry"--Horace, Ars Poetica (c. 13 BC)
