Spring is Coming

Spring is coming! I finally got a chance to start work on my Geese paintings inspired by a drive through Whidbey and La Conner from a previous springtime. It is truly amazing to be surrounded by their honking whiteness.  Here is my small painting of Geese:

Transforming Gesture Artist Talk

Here are some stills taken by Christopher Overman, photographer extraordinaire from the dance performance installation piece inspired by the Transforming Gesture exhibit last Sunday, October 10, 2010.
Maureen Freehill and Nala Walla created a spontaneous dance about fertility and nature in the Northwind Arts center gallery.
The pictures show Andrea Lawson and Karen Kosoglad's paintings. Andrea's paintings were inspired by dance and specifically the ballet Rite of Spring. 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.

Poem from Red Sings From The Treetops by Joyce Sidman

In SPRING
Red sings
from treetops:
cheer-cheer-cheer,
each note dropping
like a cherry
into my ear.

Red turns
the maples feathery,
sprouts in rhubard spears;
Red squirms on the road
after rain.
