An art lover

“Compose and wait.”

I’ve taken two classes with Sam Abell, and he stressed that concept both times. (He practices it, too – look at his work and you can tell!)

I am not a patient person so composing and waiting doesn’t naturally occur. But look what happens when I actually c-&-w! An art lover – though she appears to be a little skeptical about this particular piece – steps right into my composition, just where I needed her to be.

Thanks, art lover!

Art from a vending machine

I really like it when old places get to have a new life.

So I pretty happy that this ruin may be getting another chance. A local group worked on cleaning up the place and then hosted a pop-up art show the other Saturday. A local ceramics artist, Kendra McCartney, used this vintage vending machine to sell her tiny pots.

Here’s a news report on the project. And maybe the place is haunted?
