New Recipe for Dessert

Photo from Crave Online

I sauteed black cherries, brown sugar, half cup water until reduced. Then added a quarter cup blackberry brandy. Then sliced up three large nectarines into a deep dish pan wth cherries poured over. Added splash of lemon and vanilla. Topped with leftover half roll of sugar cookie mix smashed into small drops to cover. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg. Bake 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

For those of you who are too young...to remember.

Glass Created with Layers, Photo Screen Printing and Brushed Frit...

2009-07-03T14:00:00.003-04:00

This June, the FSU Master Craftsman Studio folks hosted Glass Fusing Techniques with a wonderful artist, Leslie Nolan enlightening us on the possibilities.These are examples of using glass bases with the intention to blend, print, move with paintbrush all kinds of frit glass of varying particle sizes. All of this variation creates surprises every time the kiln reveals the works.

This 4 x 4 inch example is in two layers with a process of printing dry frit through a custom made photo exposed silkscreen then adding loose frit to the top clear piece and moving the loose frit(size of fine beach sand) around to produce textures. I ws trying to get the loose idea of water or old cyanotype colors.

For this white base I dusted loose frit through a distorted piece of burlap for the netting pattern, added clear glass and applied scraps, stringers, and larger coarse frit.

This Schnauzer dog is inspired by Murphy. I simply moved the loose frit around the glass base until it shaped up to a very painterly illustrated dog and added the specks, stringers, and confetti triangles to resemble the sometimes delicious bits of things he finds very irrestistable. I found this technique to be so simple, yet requiring persistent patience and experimentation with tools like a needle pointed mini awl, toothpicks, and varying dry paintbrushes.

Goldfish, screened pattern base and fish for the top layer with scrap Bullseye color and bits of orange stringers.

First day using a little of everything-frit( periwinkle), stringers (thin lines), and scrap bullseye in orange and irridescent on one clear glass base.

My example of wafers ( berries and holly leaf) add to base for second firing with confetti glass that melted more like wet tissue than the original hard edged form.

Experimented with mixing liquid and black frit to apply from a squeez bottle for dots and linear design. I also cut paper stencils for the silhouette and used a strainer to dust frit for airbrushed look. Look closely for bubbles possibly caused by the liquid trapped between the two layers of glass.

Hats Off to Our Military-Independence Day 2009

KEVIN COLE
Balancing My Thoughts with Hope, Prayers, and Dreams

Father's Day again, and ties are symbolic as we recognize all of them.

The Atlanta artist, Kevin Cole, has artwork that shifts us playfully past the typical retailer's shiny, striped representations. While I pause to think of a dad's contributions, I think of the balance of strength and tenderness fathers can show in raising someone to tow the line. At the same time, he can colorfully encourage, play, and celebrate a child's own unique abilities throughout the twisting road and childhood events. All the time, praying for the best he can humanly provide.

If you are fortunate enough to spend time with someone so unquestionably invested in celebrating all of your successes and at times, the untangling of your messes, keep the day simple, look him in the eye and say Happy Father's Day. The best gift is to show him that his hope, dreams and prayers have been anwered in the way you continue to go about living your own life.

Time to contemplate what makes POPular ART? Art contest( http://www.artnewsblog.com/2009/05/artprizeorg-250000-art-prize.htm ) online is a little like Am Idol in that the public juries the show to decide a winner? Knowing this -how does one decide to create in a direction that is totally purposed for an audience? Isn't this a little like our lives-and are we living for others' judgement or creating our own canvas from inner voices?

Time is Relative

2009-05-04T22:02:00.007-04:00

If we are facing more and more computer driven simulcasts and syncroniously learning, will the shelf life of our knowledge exist for any longer-or linger for less time?

Do you wonder when we transition into valuing the 'now' in knowledge more than the story in history, will the books on the shelf eventually disappear from our libraries? Will the intention of being fully aware of all things happening right now prevent us from the browsing backwards into stories of our own family members, local heroes, or historic events? Questing for knowledge...I wonder if we are on a treadmill, searching for anything that fuels us fatefully faster into the future, to create a better world-but forgetting the path forged by our fathers. Will we need to invent a new definition for a new word. Foreget. Erasing the past before it happens so that the current keeps flowing.

Collaboration

2009-05-03T22:34:00.004-04:00

The motto of Kentuckians....united we stand, divided we fall. Collaboration is quite possibly the most powerful opportunity we have to create better lives. In empty spaces before or directly following the drama in our lives, or when we feel as if the hiccup in our plans has become more like a very torturous, tightly held gas bubble in our chest, remember just one person has the power to influence us-or that just maybe you or I were meant to burst in to one another's life blindly and impose relief from their pain, artist block, agony of past lives, just by being open to the idea that like soap bbbbubbles we have greater strength when stuck together, and far tragically, like isolated bubbles in the wind -weaker when we do not acknowledge the power of connection and land on our own onto the razor sharp surface of reality.

100 Days

2009-04-29T20:42:00.003-04:00

We create our own anniversaries these days and in much shorter terms than years. Rituals are harder to find consistency within. Time becomes a tide engulfing us where it has been in the past an ever changing face we could look into and see ourselves. Now, looking back has a cost in that when we take our eyes off the road, we crash. I am still happy to swim in the tides of now, but miss the long minutes of the past where fireflies had our attention and the kitchen table, not the computer table, was the heart of the home.
