I always feel different, more a part of the landscape after swimming.The view overlooked  the turn in the river, mountains behind, each silhouette a different shade of green and blue sky.  I dab new colors, manganese and cerulean blue on my palette.  Ahh,  I was so inspired. I looked in my bag. My carefully packed brushes, one pointy, one flat were  not actually carefully packed. They were not there.  I looked around. Several different types of fluffy weeds and leaves grew by the log.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;I tried a sprig. The first disintegrated. I tried another style of weed. Eventually I painted this landscape with fingers, weeds and twigs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);"&gt;The act of creativity and observation makes me feel at one with the land, the way swimming does.  The picture wasn't the fabulous depiction of the scene I had at first envisioned but I like the scratchstrokes and the energy of the marks.

The assignment was to illustrate the first page of Heidi by Johanna Spyri. This is the page where Heidi, wearing several layers of clothes  is being dragged up the  sunny mountain to Grandfather.It was challenging to illustrate a classic that has been illustrated so many  times before.    First I read and reread the paragraph several times. Then I found my copy of the book, which I hadn't seen in a while and read the book again to remember more about Heidi. I researched the flora and landscape of Switzerland, doing sketches of Swiss wildflowers such as gentian and edelweiss, that might be in bloom during the month of June when the story opens. I created thumbnail sketches to decide on the composition. I thought it would be a fun idea to see the scene from the point of view of a mountain goat. This would also show the vastness of the mountain she was climbing and the smallness of Heidi, roasting in her clothes. I chose to make the goat  very large. I tried it in pastels and then acrylic. Here are my three color illustrations. I chose to submit the acrylic because  it is the most dramatic, with the larger goat. I painted these on large  boards, then photographed them to create a digital image.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3311041463690060915-128478685989826889?l=andreaklawson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/feeds/128478685989826889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2011/02/learning-from-trials-and-tribulations.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/128478685989826889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/128478685989826889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2011/02/learning-from-trials-and-tribulations.html' title='Learning from trials and tribulations, illustrating Heidi'/><author><name>Flying Selki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14392487072893592097</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2iHC0wY7II/AAAAAAAAACQ/ZMPQGmeZmZ0/S220/photoIMG_02_Andrea.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M3LA8N_8llc/TVRLKxNxGPI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/r8gUG7oW9Dw/s72-c/Heidi_Acrylic_TomAward.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311041463690060915.post-3890964368206315430</id><published>2010-12-05T12:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-05T12:37:16.232-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='still life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bootylandkids.com'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='discount'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ajax Cafe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flying Selki Studio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dogs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Andrea Lawson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holiday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='promotional code'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reproducitons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etsy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='posters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='coloring book'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fantasy'/><title type='text'>Announcing the opening of my new Etsy Store, Flying Selki Studio!</title><content type='html'>Flying Selki studio is now open at Etsy.com  &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/flyingselki"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Flying Selki Studio by Flyingselki on Etsy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am starting with just a few items.

The program created another level of interaction between art dance, dance life,fertility, nature and expression.The exhibit will remain on view through November 1, 2010 in Port Townsend, Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Primarily &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt; is incapable of being defined...&lt;span class="GramE"&gt;it&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; always emerging each moment. It is life and death and all that is in between.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is the soul as it is revealed authentically through the flesh. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;That said&lt;span class="GramE"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; it is also a performing art that originated 50 years ago in Japan. Dancers &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Hijikata&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Tatsumi&lt;/span&gt; and Kazuo &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Ohno&lt;/span&gt; are credited as the founders of the art. It has now developed to be a performing art that is crafted, practiced and performed internationally. It is not traditionally Japanese...but certainly its source lies in Japan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Who did you study under? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I studied for the past 16 years. My primary sensei (teacher) has been Kazuo &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Ohno&lt;/span&gt; with whom I studied, lived, performed for about 5 years in Japan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;When did you first learn of &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In 1993 I was searching for something to help with my disillusionment as a performer. I had been in--and quit-- an exclusive MFA &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;&lt;span class="GramE"&gt;broadway&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; track acting conservatory program/scholarship and "dropped our" for a time when I saw a woman with an interesting T-shirt next to me in line at a music festival in Seattle. The woman turned out to be my first &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; teacher, Joan &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Laage&lt;/span&gt;, and the T-shirt picture was of her Japanese &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; teacher, Yoko &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Ashikawa&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;How did you decide &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt; is the dance for you? What other dance forms do you practice?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;just feels right in my body and soul. Ever since I met &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt;, there has been no other life-art-dance practice that I never tire of and always am inspired and challenged by.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It is like a soul mate for me and my body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Apart from &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt;, mostly I have enjoyed all kinds of improvisational dance like Contact Improvisation, Contemplative Dance Practice &amp;amp; Authentic Movement. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Since discovering &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; and my first trip to Japan in 1994, I worked extensively with Noh Theater and the dance/movement that is related to it as well as Nihon &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Buyo&lt;/span&gt;, Kabuki and &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Bejing&lt;/span&gt; Opera. My MFA is in Asian Performance and Directing from University of Hawaii. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I have also practiced many set forms of dance including modern, contemporary, ballet, tap, jazz, ethnic forms like west African, hula, belly dance, Korean dance, folk and contra dance, etc. as well as social dances like tango, salsa and swing. &lt;span class="GramE"&gt;Enjoyment of many, mastery of none.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;What does &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt; enable you to do that you wouldn’t do otherwise?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Probably nothing in itself....however my &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; teachers, especially Kazuo &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Ohno&lt;/span&gt; have enabled me to open my heart, body, mind and soul in ways I am sure I never could have without their inspiration and guidance. Simply living and studying in Japan for the time that I did allowed me a perspective on myself, my creativity and my conditioning from growing up in the USA that I believe I could not have seen or known had I not gone. The completely different perspective, culture and landscape woke me up and opened gateways of my creativity, strength and skill that were inaccessible otherwise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;How does &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt; compare to other dance forms?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It is not a form. Other dance forms are form based. &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Butoh&lt;/span&gt; is body, life, soul, earth based and not defined by any particular form. It is a practice, an art, a way of life. It is not a technique or a set of moves or style or steps that can be mastered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(&lt;a href="http://butohdance.ring.com/"&gt;http://butohdance.ning.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;When you look at these recordings, what is lost in the transfer to digital media?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;One thing would be the "trapping" of a moment...when we see something live our memories can recreate it in all kinds of ways that may or may not be anything like the &lt;span class="GramE"&gt;original&lt;/span&gt; work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I’m not so sure what the difference of digital or analog would be but ANY kind of recording tends to loose much of the living breath, the environmental context, the invisible emotional and energetic atmosphere....sometimes I am lucky and these things still magically come through..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;What is improved by having your performance recorded?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Certainly one thing that is better is how many witnesses are able to partake of a bit of the performance at any given moment. With the film it is possible to dance anywhere at any time I get an impulse or inspiration and make the offering to a wider circle for as long as we have internet. Dance is naturally a disappearing art...film is not.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Also, in live performance situations you need to publicize, call the audience together to a specific place. This takes a great deal of energy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;What motions do you most often repeat? Or is repetition something you endeavor to avoid?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Since it is not really about "motions" per se I would have to go back and take a look to see what I did the most. In &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; I do tend toward simplicity in body movements so the feelings can emerge...standing, walking, turning, sinking and rising, rolling...jumping....not lots of "fancy moves" for sure.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The Noh master &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;Zeami&lt;/span&gt; wrote: "Feel 10 and show 7." Generally in &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; less movement is more effective. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;That said, in some daily dance situations my "&lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;dancerly&lt;/span&gt;" self and training naturally arise out of the moment...I’m "moved" by the music in some way that is more "&lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;dancey&lt;/span&gt;" and less "&lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;In a dance, do you hope to translate some meaning or particular interpretation to viewers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="GramE"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Not exactly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; It is not about &lt;i&gt;expressing&lt;/i&gt; anything or &lt;i&gt;telling&lt;/i&gt; anything in particular. However, inside me there is a particular intention, focus of attention, image, feeling, experience or even a story that is unfolding. I am far more concerned with being true to that and not with whether the audience "understands." I am always curious though about what they do feel, remember and "get" from any given performance that I offer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;How do you prepare for a performance?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The most important preparation is the process of practicing &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; daily for many years--as my spiritual practice and means of growth as a human being. There are many &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="SpellE"&gt;butoh&lt;/span&gt; exercises for the body, mind and heart that I practice regularly. These have come from my various teachers or been created by me and are what I now teach in group and private lessons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;When it comes to a particular piece or work that I am crafting, I begin &lt;span class="GramE"&gt;with&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;something&lt;/span&gt; that inspires my heart, emotions and soul very deeply and particularly and something I am curious about but not sure about. An example would be my enthusiasm about the ocean as the mother of all life. The process of making performance is one of revelation and discovery always unfolding in surprising ways. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I play freely with an image, body sensation, emotion or other being/object and then movement patterns emerge spontaneously. Usually the technical elements like staging, costume, sound, lights, props, etc. come toward the end of the process. They grow naturally out of the feelings and images.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; I never start with a "look" I am looking for.

Santa Cruz and studied with the same teachers. We have a lot in common with our gestural process, but also very different palettes and approaches to our imagery.&lt;br /&gt;Amy and I  met when we both attended the Artist Trust Edge Program. Each of us produces art inspired by nature expressing the   gesture of form. It is because we each have this gestural quality  that I thought  our work would be interesting together.  Each of us echoes nature in a new way. We'll find out this Saturday, when we see the show hung together. I'm looking forward to the surprise of the alchemical creation as our three art forms coalesce into one art show.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3311041463690060915-6251349347993119222?l=andreaklawson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/feeds/6251349347993119222/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-would-like-to-invite-you-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/6251349347993119222'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/6251349347993119222'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-would-like-to-invite-you-to.html' title='I would like to invite you to the Transforming Gesture Exhibit Reception this Saturday  October 2!'/><author><name>Flying Selki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14392487072893592097</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2iHC0wY7II/AAAAAAAAACQ/ZMPQGmeZmZ0/S220/photoIMG_02_Andrea.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/TKKHJBBUAnI/AAAAAAAAAJY/sLtYBDWLr2w/s72-c/oct+web+email.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311041463690060915.post-6298557251109122536</id><published>2010-09-20T12:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-20T12:55:16.564-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fireworks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape painting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Port Townsend'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='northwind arts center showcase gallery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='northwind arts center'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrylic  painting'/><title type='text'>Northwind Showcase online</title><content type='html'>My  paintings will be in the Northwind Arts Center Showcase, Port Townsend, Washington through the end of September.

At the very end of this book the author paraphrases the famous &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;anime&lt;/span&gt; director &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Hayao&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Miyazaki&lt;/span&gt;, describing his views on imagination.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Miyazaki&lt;/span&gt;  directed &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My Neighbor &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Totoro&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Spirited Away and many others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"...&lt;/span&gt;one of the most important of man's abilities is the imagination, so the purpose of his creative activities is to develop the imagination of children, the coming generations..

Several artists including Andrea spoke about their work. Sarah, the curator and Mark Stevenson, sculptor, bronze caster of the Haller Fountain told us outrageous stories about the Haller Fountain. In Port Townsend she is called Galatea although she is really Venus rising from the water. It was fun to find out that cups used to hang from Galatea because the fountain was the city's drinking water. I would not recommend doing that today.Another hilarious tidbit was how when the fountain was being recast, Mark was told not to uncover the layers of paint. It turned out that this was because using the term loosely, two gentlemen when doing an earlier repair increased the size of the breasts and did not want the story of their putty uncovered. Many  more stories will be found in Sarah's upcoming book about the Haller Fountain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pictures here of Andrea at the talk holding a cup up to her ink and wash drawing of the cup of cocoa that is Galatea transformed for cold weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The cold made me think about hot chocolate and somehow that led to a conversation about art in action. What would happen if we floated marshmallows in the Haller Fountain?"&lt;br /&gt;It turns out that in light of the former cups dangling from her arms or wherever this ink on paper image was appropriate.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3311041463690060915-277577078265481283?l=andreaklawson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/feeds/277577078265481283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/close-to-home-artist-talk.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/277577078265481283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/277577078265481283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/close-to-home-artist-talk.html' title='Close To Home Artist Talk'/><author><name>Flying Selki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14392487072893592097</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2iHC0wY7II/AAAAAAAAACQ/ZMPQGmeZmZ0/S220/photoIMG_02_Andrea.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S4IR_9Jf-LI/AAAAAAAAAFM/vSU0yTS6jWI/s72-c/Close+Home+Sign_blog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311041463690060915.post-8006212135511145043</id><published>2010-02-10T22:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T22:07:09.799-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='challenge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sunrise series'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Port Townsend Bay'/><title type='text'>Sunrise Series</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S3OehWPrBQI/AAAAAAAAAE0/qyBenUsXOOI/s1600-h/Sunrise+Pastels+12-09.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

This was a challenge to capture.&lt;br /&gt;While painting a picture of the sunrise, it feels  as if I am participating in a visual transformation not unlike the sky's own transformation.The clouds move, float and reform. The light changes. The picture evolves in the same way.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3311041463690060915-8266354724311319126?l=andreaklawson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/feeds/8266354724311319126/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/todays-sunrise-february-5-2010.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/8266354724311319126'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/8266354724311319126'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/todays-sunrise-february-5-2010.html' title='Today&apos;s Sunrise, February 5, 2010'/><author><name>Flying Selki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14392487072893592097</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2iHC0wY7II/AAAAAAAAACQ/ZMPQGmeZmZ0/S220/photoIMG_02_Andrea.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2xf2Lp9EUI/AAAAAAAAAEY/30VoCS_hFs8/s72-c/Sunrise+Pastels+2-5_-2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311041463690060915.post-16758377060897313</id><published>2010-02-05T10:05:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T10:05:18.260-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Today</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3311041463690060915-16758377060897313?l=andreaklawson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/feeds/16758377060897313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/today.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/16758377060897313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/16758377060897313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/today.html' title='Today'/><author><name>Flying Selki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14392487072893592097</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2iHC0wY7II/AAAAAAAAACQ/ZMPQGmeZmZ0/S220/photoIMG_02_Andrea.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311041463690060915.post-4323891287556865580</id><published>2010-02-04T11:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T11:49:59.032-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='W.S. Mervin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poetry'/><title type='text'>Art and Poetry</title><content type='html'>In the poet,W.S. Mervin's conversation on KUOW this morning, he mentioned that to create poetry, we need every bit of our knowledge. We have our knowledge, but the poem is not made of knowledge, it is made of what you don't know.( I am paraphrasing what I scribbled down on a scrap of paper that I found among the books and snack dishes scraped up off of the floor of my car). A poem comes partly our of the unknown, what isn't really there. It emerges.He says that if you already know everything it isn't a poem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me, Mervin's description of poetry is a lot like creating a painting. If you know too much, its boring. The painting is born from an image however fleeting, but has to be discovered as one creates the artwork.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3311041463690060915-4323891287556865580?l=andreaklawson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/feeds/4323891287556865580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/art-and-poetry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/4323891287556865580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3311041463690060915/posts/default/4323891287556865580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreaklawson.blogspot.com/2010/02/art-and-poetry.html' title='Art and Poetry'/><author><name>Flying Selki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14392487072893592097</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2iHC0wY7II/AAAAAAAAACQ/ZMPQGmeZmZ0/S220/photoIMG_02_Andrea.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311041463690060915.post-5279367359551403379</id><published>2010-01-31T22:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T07:33:50.428-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pastels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sunrise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil paintings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paintings'/><title type='text'>Sunrise, Port Townsend Bay</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qk2XgYcJD6g/S2Z3qCOj2wI/AAAAAAAAABI/UMA79lKUAvA/s1600-h/IMG_6005.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;
