May 11, 2022 – Reblog / Review : Joan Mitchell, “I carry my landscapes around with me” – #Polyptychs
…my reading of Joan Mitchell’s work – while often including much of that same connection, speaks more directly to me about the impact of the canvas before me in that process. Especially most specifically in regard to Joan’s work with multi-panel / multi-canvas works of art – ie, polyptychs!

March 23, 2022 – Reblog, Tiffany Arp-Daleo’s “Playing With Crimson” Juried Into Ashton Gallery’s Art Show “LIPSTICK & ROUGE” in San Diego, California!
Tiffany has a great post with lots of pics of the gallery, her husband and, of course, her art! Curious, I looked up Ashton Gallery and was very impressed with their space and approach to their local area original-art artists — “Buying art is like falling in love,” says Ashton….

March 09, 2022 – Art Review / Reblog : 2 Women Artists I Know ( virtually ) Having Live Shows Right Now, in England ( Margaret Hall ) and California ( Tiffany Arp Daleo )
Sure, it’da been nicer posting this on March 08, 2022, on International Women’s Day – but, if I can’t atone just because I’m late, well…my momma didn’t teach me that’d be a good enough excuse not to celebrate a little late anyway ❤️ 😊 Margaret Hall and Tiffany Arp Daleo are long time innovators and…

February 20, 2022 – Reblog, “Spring Jubilee” via Tiffany Arp-Daleo
My regular readers know I’ve been gladly reblogging this young lady for a bit now. Her work is unique and filled with hope, energy, festiveness and – one of the points of this reblog – often quite textured with literally a multi-media smorgasbord of creative intution. In the comment thread of her post, she and…

January 20, 2022 – How I Applied Dianne Mize’s Art Tip, The Visual Path, To My Work-In-Progress, Part 2
As mentioned in my prev post, my then problem and now radical solution in re to a painting I’d struggled with, done the most I felt I could, and was still quite unhappy with, began after reading then reblogging Dianne Mize’s most recent art tip, The Visual Path, plus some reading I’ve been doing in…

January 19, 2022 – How I Applied Dianne Mize’s Art Tip, The Visual Path, To My Work-In-Progress, Part 1
It began after reading then reblogging Dianne Mize’s most recent art tip, The Visual Path, plus some reading I’ve been doing in The Adjacent Possible, about listening to one’s creative needs and acting on them. I’d already begun a new violet lay-in, destined, I thought, to be called Violet Impressionist Abstract 1; all along the…

January 18, 2022 – Reblog / Review : Working the Painting Language – The Visual Path, via Dianne Mize
Dianne’s continuing series of tips and samples of painting’s language of line and shapes and so much more, including, as per this reblog of her most current post, The Visual Path, have been a source of inspiration for me for quite a while now, and this is no exception. She provides not only the 2…

January 02, 2022 – Reblog / Review : “Oral history interview with #JoanMitchell, 1965 May 21” via the #Smithsonian Archives of American Art
There’s a level of self-reflection or recognition that seems to put a lot of truth into her words, Joan’s words. This is a keeper article, the Smithsonian’s, not mine, lol! There’s a reality I get each time I re-read it ☺️ It’s un-pretentious. It’s real. It’s live ❤️

December 15, 2021 – Reblog : Quotes and Paintings, via #JoanMitchell, That Speak to Me, via #TheArtStory
Joan Mitchell’s work has begun to appeal to me more and more, ever since I started reading Ninth Street Women (she’s of that time) and I haven’t even gotten to much about her in that book yet, lol! Though I did do a reblog ’bout a short video of her work here –

November 10, 2021 – Following Up with Helen Frankenthaler’s “How to Be an Artist” via Alexxa Gotthardt at #Artsy
Yesterday’s reblog/review, also via Artsy, but by a different author, went into a indepth look at how the art market has been responding to Helen Frankenthaler’s work for nearly 3/4s of a century now. Along the way, I found the article’s included informational description of her creative process the most interesting to me. Artsy, it…

November 09, 2021 – Reblog/Review : How Helen Frankenthaler’s Color-Soaked Canvases Won Over the Art Market, via Justin Kamp at #Artsy
There’s lots of reasons I like reading about artists whose lives are considered successful, in one form or another – money, fame, critical acclaim, etc. But the biggest reason I’ve found for myself, whether reading about Monet or Renoir or Berthe Morisot or a contemporary of, Helen’s – Joan Mitchell (which I recently reblog/reviewed an…

November 02, 2021 – Reblog/Review : “Low Water” by Joan Mitchell via #bofamasterpiecemoment at the Carnegie Museum of Art
This was a terrific video for me to start off with, perusing Bank of America’s series of artist profiles – Masterpiece Moment on YouTube. I get email alerts for new episodes and have finally, gladly, gotten to watching one 😊 I must admit, I chose this short “moment,” featuring Joan Mitchell, to see 1st because…

I’d saved the tweet below a few months (date shows it 1st was tweeted late last year, Nov 2020) thinking this would be an involved article with lots of interesting info on Jo’s process working with large-scale art. I was 1/2 right 😊 First, the part I got wrong was….

October 12, 2021 – Reblog/Review : Long Covid Presentation with Patrick McKeown (YouTube)
My biggest take away from Patrick McKeown’s hour and a half YouTube presentation (a recorded Zoom session) is how gentle and doable it can be for most of us to go as slow as we need, and we’ll get there – “there” being better easier healthier breathing and as a result, the potential for a…

October 10, 2021 – Reblog, “Missing Season” via Tiffany Arp-Daleo, With a Poetry Tie-in Collaboration via Joni Caggiano
This is a special presentation from artist Tiffany Arp-Daleo, whom many of my readers/viewers have seen work from here on my site, teaming up with poety, Joni Caggiano. Mashups, of all kinds, tend to mostly either work or just miss, the contributing creative components each already recognized for their talents; the question remaining – does…

September 30, 2021 – Reblog : A Visual Problem-solver or Just Getting It Right? (Andrew Wyeth’s Brown Swiss) via Dianne Mize
This is, it turns out, a reblog of a reblog, lol! First posted by Dianne Mize about this time last year (Sept 2020), she’s kindly reposted, and I’m very glad she did! I’ve recently been “experimenting” with light molding paste, acrylics, watercolors, line art, figure art, and even masking fluid. Again. As I have over…

September 12, 2021 – Reblog/Review : Website, Claude Monet (Paintings, Biography, and Quotes)
There is SO much good information, and beautiful images, on this site ( claude-monet.com ) it’s almost an embarrassment of riches! Meaning I can’t believe, despite my half-century+ enchantment with impressionism, esp Monet & Renoir) I never came across it before! In fact, I’m still coming across new material; not to mention the staggering review…

July 10, 2021 – Reblog : Monet, Morisot, Renoir and the birth of Impressionism, via Christie’s (circa Valentines 2017)
Though over over 4 years old, and the auction I assume more than well over, the article itself I thought was very nice! Interesting observations, basic and to the point! Plus great visuals – for all 3 featured impressionists : Monet, Morisot and Renoir…Timeless artists all 3, it matters little the date of this article…

June 06, 2021 – Reblog : The Impressionist Art of Seeing and Being Seen (Berthe Morisot in England; via the New York Times; by Jason Farago)
Seldom have I enjoyed an art critique post, visually or intellectually, as much as I enjoyed this visually detailed, historically grounded narrative into “some” of what the Impressionist movement was about, even if not apparent at the time – ie, much like our own times will need some reflection and commentary to become more fully…

May 07, 2021 – Reblog/Review : Luminosity in Watercolor via Dianne Mize
As usual, what’s especially nice about Dianne Mize’s relatively short Quick Tip YouTube videos, is not only the amount of information she relays to us, but how she relays it, generously giving examples both on her palette and her painting paper of what she’s discussing – in this case, creating a sense of luminosity with…

Old Fashioned Potpourri by Tiffany Arp-Daleo 😊

The Power of Understatement (Lost Edges) via Dianne Mize Studio Feb 2020
“In the 1960’s I attended an art show in which hung a huge mural size painting showing as its content the total of three words: “Say Everything Completely”. I rebelled against that message then and I bristle at it now. The reason is that in my work, a part of my personal aesthetic is understatement.”
