Creative Space



A challenge was issued by Paper Imagery Designs, such a fun, inspiring group!, to post photos of our creative spaces. These were taken before it got really messy, I've added 3 sets of rolling drawer bins and you can't see the top of either table, but I post these to encourage myself to clean up my act!
Our dog, Leo (Tolstoy:) enjoys the best view - I try to make time to journal and watch the birds at eye level, always helpful to have a different perspective.
I've promised myself that I will resume my 'hour a day' minimum in the Altered Attic - it has been way too long!

LOL at Linda's comment! It looks like a wonderful space to create. Love the window seat as well. I wish I had a wide open space to be in rather than smack dab in the middle of the dining room. I better get my tail in gear too. Thanksgiving is coming and I really need it cleaned off by then...LOL!

..Oh and yes, I did catch the comment that you were originally from Western NY. I'm from Dunkirk , NY originally. A lot of my family is from Silver Creek ((hence my little play on words for my last piece created, Blue Creek))) and that's where I grew up until 8th grade, then moved to Dunkirk.

:) Small world.

I'm "jealous" of the amount of space you actually have -- I crave this much space!!!

Great space, great photo of Leo in the window seat.

But really, I'm writing to tell you that I'm so glad you tracked down Frederick Douglass' words and got them right. It's a quote that deserves to not be given short shrift. Thank you!

Patti,
I want your studio! The natural light ....what a prize! Leo looks like a sweetie pie....Thanks for stopping by to visit. You were wondering about our weather...We are having a few thunderstorms today. Whatever dear Fay decides to do after she leaves Florida will determine how wet our weekend in Dixie will be. Your folks will probably have some raindrops fallin' on them though. If Fay takes a northward turn...lots of raindrops here then...but we are 90 north of Montgomery. A "Tara" house in Montgomery. Divine!!!! I'm jealous, too! Have a great weekend!
Hugs, Marilyn

One World One Heart

When I started this blog in the spring of 2008, I wondered who would read it... and why? Did I have anything to say that would be of interest or invoke a reaction? Offer hope, inspiration, a laugh, maybe the realization that someone else really does know how you feel? Little did I know that I would meet such an incredible wealth of amazing, warm, welcoming creatives, some of whom have become very close friends. I don't like to imagine life without them. I visit some artists who post new work nearly every day. Wow, how I wish. Then there are those, like me, who try to post weekly in the hopes that friends and a few new readers will keep showing up. I get personal and often deviate from art, technique, workshops and such; I guess that comes from being a lifelong writer. There is the occasional trip to the soapbox, dealing with a chronic illness, raising kids, rationalizing the creative endeavors that supersede chores on the to-do list, a bit of poetry...

Fall Giveaway!

What's your favorite season? Read on, leave a comment and on October 31st I'll pick (randomly, of course) the winner of a seasonal box of goodies. took a walk the other day and yep, the air had that unmistakable chill, unlike a random cold snap in the summer. the leaves turning, bulbs waiting to be planted and roots going dormant for the winter that are felt more than smelled. unlike the triumphant scents of blossoms carried in the limbs of honeysuckle and rose bushes, mimosas and lilies in spring. Cats curled in nooks and tight against porch railings; I believe they, too, know it will soon be time to go inside, aside from the daily foray into the bright slant of sun that is another sign of fall. the pumpkins laugh, already, at the thought of Halloween, a wild night of surprise and celebration in our neighborhood. the mums almost look out of place, the bright color alongside the browning grass... autumn and spring are my favorite seasons, though they are the hardest on those of

Patti Edmon Abstract Artist

Patti Edmon Intuitive Abstract Artist   Welcome (website coming soon) and thanks for stopping by!  I live and work with artist Jim Edmon, my husband and partner for 36 years, and my cat Picasso.  My studio is in a renovated attic in a historic brick foursquare in downtown Lexington, Kentucky.  My work is inspired by memory, curiosity and a very vivid imagination, which I failed to understand in childhood. But that's another story. I'm fascinated by color and shape and creating movement on a still surface.  Each painting has a unique history and is made layer by layer with mark, texture and expressions of connection and deep, meaningful emotion. All paintings are for sale (unless otherwise noted) and I'd love to share details, closeup images and answer any questions you might have. Contact info below. I'll be adding more work and updating photos soon, and I'm currently accepting commissions.  Imaginary Landscapes  I've created new work for a solo show that opens
