Sfumato Days

Sfumato
(from Italian sfumare, 'to tone down,' or 'to evaporate like smoke'), in painting or drawing, term designating fine shading that produces soft, imperceptible transitions between colours and tones.
It is used most often in connection with the work of Leonardo da Vinci and his followers, who made subtle gradations, without lines or borders, from light to dark areas.

"sfumato." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2006.

The painting: "Blush" 2007. (40 x 40 cm).

Workshop: Japanese Wind Drawing

Drawing with ink and a branch from Hazel. Drawing in the wind with repetitive movements. These drawings reflect an
intimate response to the immediate landscape by ‘mapping’ the overlooked movement of varied grasses and trees in the wind.
The grasses, especially, – when dipped into ink create the drawings themselves through idiosyncratic, repetitive movements.

Art can save your Day

Earth Day is finished. After 2 years of moving this triptych back and forth and up and down and finally decided which panel
was left and right wing and decided which kinda frame and so on . . .

Right now, I can barely recall what the fuss was all about. Art is an ever-changing, ever-growing thing. It's the challenge you
want to take and the effort you want to make. At the end of the day, art restores sanity.
Art can save your day – even while the sun is going down. Now, take a deep breath, take a break, take a photo, go to your
computer and open iPhoto – and – save!
