Bird dog turns colors

April 30th, 2007

 The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence
 is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.

 ::: Robert  Hughes – Art Critic :::

I must be a very good artist then. Doubt is a constant companion.
Working night and day on the town Chamber of Commerce brochure… it was scheduled to be finished two weeks ago, but a series of glitches has made it difficult. I'm on the home stretch, finally. It's become fun. That means I'm close to finished.
When my #2  brother heard that Jim & I had joined the chamber he practically fell on the sidewalk laughing. "Do they know about you?", he asked. Hmmm… probably not. Fortunately Brandon's Chamber is progressive and inclusive, and appreciative of what the arts have done for this community. We all work hard.

I'm also intensely in the process of adding color to Bird Dog, who is also two weeks late.
First name Bird, last name Dog.
Hard to decide on what to do with the bird. Blue is appealing, but seems too much of a contrast… it might be jarring and demand too much attention. Blue has been calling out to me though. The dog wants some blue.

This weekend we had a group of antique Citroen drivers tour the Granary. They were invited by Chef Robert Barral, the creative genius in our beloved Cafe Provence. Chef Robert drives a red Citroen. The cars were lovely, sculptural. They were from Quebec, NYC, Boston etc. It was interesting, but a distraction. Too much talk when I am in need of quiet.
