I'm a big fan of that movement, which you'd probably never guess from my work.Martha Marshallhttp://artistsjournal.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-38180377974048086692009-12-04T19:50:46.144-03:302009-12-04T19:50:46.144-03:30HW,

Right now I'm working part time and struggling with re- adjusting my schedule. <br /><br />Blue Sky Dreaming,<br />Glad you dropped by. I was very uninvolved in art in the 70's. You had the good fortune to see the evolution of this movement. Feel free to suggest any artists who you are familiar with from that period.<br /><br />RT, <br />Thanks for dropping by. I can only imaging what the work of Kushner's would look like up close and personal. I travel to NY every couple of years and next trip I have a new destination. Thanks for that info.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-21776156059323811002009-12-04T19:12:57.625-03:302009-12-04T19:12:57.625-03:30You've taught me how to look at flower paintin...You've taught me how to look at flower paintings; now I'll learn to appreciate pattern and decoration.

I still think about your house series you recently featured on your blog. My friends laugh when I tell them I get weak in a fabric store, but that is where I go when I want a shot of inspiration.<br /> <br />Robyn and Kathy, <br />I appreciate your positive comments about Gains and Losses. It is one of my favourites. It quickly sold and flew across the Atlantic to Great Britain never to be seen again. Are you ever sorry you sold a piece? I regret not keeping this one for myself.<br /><br />By the time December is over everyone who reads this blog will be well immersed in Pattern and Design. It's going to be my December theme. Themes make me feel like I'm a primary teacher again.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-5314698210779095892009-12-03T12:55:45.428-03:302009-12-03T12:55:45.428-03:30It's wonderful to know the "roots" o...It's wonderful to know the "roots" of your art, Margaret. Thanks for sharing this! And, it's great to learn more about these two remarkable artists. I think they're frequently relegated to the "attic" and I'm glad you're pushing them to the forefront. Your painting is poignant and striking!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-17779782656618931322009-12-03T10:56:43.076-03:302009-12-03T10:56:43.076-03:30Miriam Shapiro is a name I havn't heard in a l...Miriam Shapiro is a name I havn't heard in a long time. I can remember pouring over a book of her collages many years ago. We had no internet in South Africa at that stage and I couldn't find anymore information about her. Gains and Losses is a very powerful piece, Margaret. Looking at it enlarged I feel drawn into it.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-25154700767455235762009-12-03T10:29:47.765-03:302009-12-03T10:29:47.765-03:30Beautiful artwork.

At this time of year, there is so much more to look at - ornaments and decorations, cards and wrapping paper. It is almost too much for me.<br /><br />I do fear that one day I will be hit by a bus, because across the street is an interesting bit of pattern.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the information on these other artists.Kim Hambrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784106179953299055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-50847010515079696482009-12-03T09:51:57.296-03:302009-12-03T09:51:57.296-03:30Thanks Don.

It was one of those benchmark works in my development as an artist.

The rich colors draw me in. The wonderful patterns guide me thru. Something about this whole composition makes me sad. I cannot figure out why yet, but I wanted you to know that I responded to this on a very emotional level. Nice job. -Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.com
