THE BIG OFFER

Okay....I'm really in the flow of things lately...which is a very good thing.  

So to anyone who is interested or knows of someone who may be interested... I am willing to negotiate any offers to purchase my Jim Morrison original painting.  I really want him to go to someone who truly loves  him.  So no sincere offer will be an insult.  I am more interested in giving him a good home than anything else right now.  It is more important for me to open up the space for my new work...So I would like to put  it out there...FYI.

Jim is 3 x 4 foot square...acrylic on 2 inch gallery wrap canvas.  He looks wayyyy better in person.  It's a very dynamic painting in very bold color.  Thx for the chance...june

A NEW LOOK FOR A NEW DIRECTION

Well in case you haven't noticed I changed up my blog.....still need to work out some of the kinks, so bare with me a bit.  I'm an artist, not a tech person and this stuff makes my brain hurt.


So the "new direction" came from me thinking about the Rock Series and what I wish to make of this.  It's been a really good learning experience for me...but now I need more.  So I'm heading in a more artistically freeing space by not painting myself into a corner...literally!  


From now on I will paint the legends as the mood hits me. Instead of grouping things and matching backgrounds.....uuggg!   Too much pressure, not enough fun.  I want more freedom and flow in my work.  
For instance, I have a terrific picture in my brain of a different kind of painting than what I'm used to doing with Michael Jackson as the legend.   I just need to explore that area of creativity without thinking, how does it fit into the series?  I just need more...that's all I can say.


So after receiving an offer for my Jimi Hendrix piece and realizing I had to break the pattern.  I had to let go of the elusive "show" I am planning and think outside the box. I had to let go of one of my babies.....that's a really hard thing to do.   Especially when it is one of your best.  But all of the sudden I just got calm and instantly I became completely untethered to an old idea.
So drum roll please....the new title of my series is 
                              
       "ROCK, BIKES & TATTS"  


I think that pretty much sums it up.

So here is the bigger news....I sold my Jimi Hendrix painting to a young couple, Willow and Cary, on the upper East side in NYC, thx to their designer Nellie...they are hanging him on a large exposed brick wall....YAY!  


And because of this revelation hitting me like a ton of bricks....pun intended...I decided to change all the prices on my original pieces of Rock Art by 35%.   So I'm putting it out there that if anyone is interested please feel free to scoop one up as is...or by all means, make me an offer....it's time to make some space for the new series.....here I go!  
And remember....ROCK ON! xoxo juner

SUNNY DAYS!

So the rain finally subsided and the sun came out and all I could do was work in the garden.  I didn't want to waste any sun days in the house.  That put a little damper getting my art work done.  Although I did get in some work on Rod, and then began another project, (geez I'm the worse...can't help myself, when I get an idea I just have to go with it).  I have always loved the idea of sculpting.  So I finally picked up some polymer clay and started playing around.  

It wasn't flowing...nothing.  I wasn't coming up with anything unusual or special.  So after scrapping my second major attempt, and day of working on one particular piece, I sat there staring in utter frustration...why can't I get out what I clearly see in my mind?  What am I fumbling about with?  What can I make?  Then it hit me suddenly...why don't I do what I know...what I do best!  

So that's what I'm doing.  Here is a very teeny tiny close up of a very raw, very beginning of where I am taking this...himmmm, look familiar?   Of course it will morph into something other than what you see here right now...but Yep, we're heading into another area in the "Rock Series"...you'll just have to wait for the update.  Hope it's as fun for you as it is for me.  

Next I wanted to give you the updated process of Rod...he may not look that different at first glance, but he is.  I completely reshaped his whole profile, his features are more defined and darker..although his mouth has been erased. And his hair has more definition and the neck scarves are starting to take shape...it's getting there.  I promise to put more attention onto this painting in the next few days...He needs to be finished already!  Rock On!  Juners   Oh, and here's an update on the garden I'm building.

ROD THE MOD...HE'S GETTING THERE

A ROCK STAR WITH LARGE LIPS..HIMMM...NO NOT HIM, THE OTHER ONE!

THE FENCE IS ALMOST DONE, THE GATE IS ALMOST UP AND THE BIRDS HAVE A PLACE TO HANG
KEEP WATCHING FOR THE FINAL PHOTOS...IT'S REALLY COMING ALONG THE WAY I HAVE ALWAYS WISHED FOR...A GREENHOUSE  AND A LARGE FAMILY TABLE  WITH A CANOPY  ...YOU'LL SEE SOON.
