from Anchorage, United States (Permalink)Dear Sodabear:
Lively, loose watercolor. Here's my website so you might see my work, if you wish: http://www.jocelynpaine.com/ I have it in mind to do children's book illustrations and maybe also the text someday. I like the way you integrate and make a design element out of your words. I have a series of watercolor vegetables made for my Community Supported Agriculture farm; they are on the web site. I usually work in pastels and love them.
Hey, Meinsje:
I see that you are going to Argentina, when I clicked on your profile. My heart lives there! As an Argentine tango dancer, I never manage to tear myself away and go anywhere else, with my limited travel funds. I have a Buenos Aires-themed pastel art show opening next month at Anchorage's El Tango Restaurant, and I'll be dancing tango there every Saturday while it is up.
Glad that someone's active on this site, finally. We're all too busy painting, sculpting, etc., I guess.

from Anchorage, United States (Permalink)Hello, Meinsje:
I've been recovering from a feverish cold, so off-line a few days. The tango show/art opening/event will be here in Anchorage, Alaska. We don't have tango here that is close enough to what I ended up being able to dance in Buenos Aires after several years of study and visiting there for a couple of months at a time, so I don't dance here. The local group is very very small. But I have an adequate partner for the event and we're practicing, not as much as he'd like, sort of like every day!, and a bit more than I'd like to be a 'crash-test dummy', which is a couple of times a week or so.
I didn't get any 'stary' but I think you mean story, about Anna?
If you want to send it again, please do so. While ill I wrote about 18th C. pastellist Rosalba Carriera (Venice, 1673-1857) for The Pastel Journal. I did waaay too much research because I couldn't stop reading about this independent, successful, innovative artist, a woman who accomplished so much in her time regardless of the fact that women's lives were still so restricted. She was blind for the last seven years of her life, but she set the tone for the Rococo artistic milieu.
A little tired, still, from being ill. Must end now. So nice to chat about dance and art!
