The Riverside Arts Council sent out an email for call to artists to display at the Riverside County Administrative Building. I am pleased to announce that they chose 3 of my pieces for the front entry in the main lobby of the building. You can enter at Lemon Street to see them in person. There are 25 other artists whose work can be seen throughout the building. The work will be there through

My Urban Intervention project ACTION interSPEAKS is in a new development stage... Recent reading revealed yet again, another kindred spirit in the project: Edgardo Antonio Vigo: I was pleased that what he wrote in the 60's is totally in line with what I wrote for the project proposal for ACTION interSPEAKS.

Om (aka Airom Bleicher) has curated 2 of my flight path paintings into a group show entitled "Paper on Paint". Bleicher/Golightly 1431 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90401 Reception 6pm to 9pm The location is right on the Beach across from the pier. Really gorgeous location. This piece, "insinuate" will be there, and also "elusive". Stop by -- the other work in the show is great too.

In researching altruism, it is hard to find a definition for the middle ground between Altruism and its antonym, Selfishness. I am going to say that it is Mutual Benefit. It is Exchange. Altruism is great ... but I believe the lyrics are "just to love and be loved in return." Today, I inadvertently received some interesting news. Let's just call it a conundrum, perhaps a double edged sword....

Here is another kindred spirit: Anthony Discenza at Catherine Clark Gallery As per the previous blog entry...I am working on a public art project. I was a little disappointed recently that a very similar project is in town. However, a little bit more relieved to see Anthony's work - which has been in creation since around 2008.  I like that he is using original thoughts - including his lists!

It may not be enough to just create a thing, and the mere intrinsic value of showing/putting it out there. But rather, how can we create something that goes above and beyond the thought left/shared?

Photographing said poked paper may be the hardest thing I have ever done. Photographing paintings is a total breeze....these paper and cloth beige pieces I have been doing are a whole different challenge. I have to wait for the battery to recharge, but I don't think any of the full-scale photos meet my standards. So, providing some ambient shots that are gorgeous may have to be the way to go.

I have some new letters in Flight Path formations that I posted in the shop. Each letter has a coinciding atlas list of World-wide locations that begin with the same letter featured. Actual flight path lines are calculated from the first location on the list to the last = creating an abstract line "drawing" that I sew on with embroidery floss.

I have had the house to myself this weekend....except for Chicken. Yes, her nickname is Chicken. Her real name is Little Bird - Bird for short. And sometimes Pigeon. Some friends of mine from Fallen Fruit have just posted that a grapefruit tree fell in my neck of the woods, and that bushels of fruit are on a porch at a particular address.....so off I go now that I am done photographing about 40

Ugh. Have a lot to do on the list this weekend. One thing that has totally gotten out of hand is all of my photo archives in the computer. They are a total mess. Sometimes, when I have to send someone an image or put together a package to submit for a grant, the pics are here and there - the best one from this section gets accidentally cut and pasted instead of copy pasted, then I can't find it

In a recent dialog, it would appear that having humility makes an artist more "genuine". For sake of ease, I will use excerpts from Wikipedia to point out some definitions and philosphy of humility: Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with notions of transcendent unity with the universe or the divine,
