Ukiyo-e #10

Ukiyo-e # 10
OMG!  It has been almost a month since I last posted on this blog.  Perhaps you thought I had fallen off the face of the earth. Not the case!  I have been busy getting my mother's house ready to sell. What a task that has been!  I have been painting, cleaning, discarding, holding an estate sale, and taking care of business affairs.  It all takes time but I have accomplished a lot in three months.  The last month has been the most hectic.

If you are curious about the house, here is the MLS for it.... http://www.matrix.nwmls.com/DE.asp?ID=12254528907

Yesterday was the first day I have been able to do any art other than teaching it.  I found a calendar at a garage sale this summer with Ukiyo-e prints on it.  I snatched it up for a dollar.  So now I am using this ephemera in a postcard series.    Ukiyo-e #10 is totally recycled materials I had around the studio. The background is "waste" paint on deli paper.  The red cross in the lower right is the number ten in Japanese.

    Thanks for posting the link -- after hearing so much about it, it's nice to see what it looks like, and of course it's fabulous. It would be a great place for art retreats, I think.

    You must be exhausted but triumphant re the house. Hope sale goes well. I would like the garage please!
    You haven't lost your touch with the collages - lovely one.

    Hi John I may seem like a new viewer but I have been reading your blog for about a year and love what you do. I have just learned how to leave a comment , but it comes up as anonymous but I am Heather another English fan and a friend of Jacqueline from Newcastle who has commented before.
    Love all of your work
