This is my photo of Trisha Leydet in front of one of my paintings. I’ m going to convert this from a figurative work to an abstract. To execute Trisha’s transformation from this photo to abstraction, I’m using FX Photo Studio PRO. It’s an app I’ve had for a long time, But until now it never played a roll in my abstract art.

This amazing, prickly vessel is by Lauren Mabry who currently has a solo show at Ferrin Contemporary at MASS MoCA. When I read Jennifer Huberdeau’s review – “A rising star in the ceramics world” – in The Eagle Sunday morning, it was so much better than the piece I was planning on the same artist, Lauren Mabry of Philadelphia. that I might as well just go back to bed. Huberdeau had quotes from the artist, the gallery owner, an art critic and she put it all together beautifully. I had no quotes. I’d gone to Sunday’s...
