Art and Medicine
Thanks, boingboing, for making my job easy today. I plucked these images from the Science Museum website after reading about this interesting collection of old objects on boingboing. The Fortean Times has an article about the collection called Medicine Cabinet of Curiosities. Have a look. It's art and medicine combined. (For you, Raliegh).If I have not been blogging as much lately, please forgive me. I am suffering from a sore back and sitting at the computer does not help me at all. I am currently painting Tickler Uke #2 and it is slow going. Maybe I need a little hike and some fresh air. I'm as pale as these figures. More later!

Femme Femme Femme blog is back - they are on wordpress now (due to a recent blogger.com "content warning" label). This is a french blog chock full of images of women in art history from photographers to painters (as shown above). It is all about "woman as muse" in ART throughout the centuries. I have never known them to select images that degrade women in any way. They always kept the images flowing - honoring women with humor and grace. A full range of styles. As someone who loves to paint women, I always enjoyed this blog. Here's the new link:

Looking Back on L.A. Last Month
Click to ENLARGEThe night after my solo show opening in L.A., I drove over to Chinatown to attend another opening on Valentine's night. This was the "Movers and Shakers" show at POVevolving Gallery.
What a great show it was, curated by Gino Joukar. I was honored to be in it. You can see my "French Bubble Gum Encore" painting on the left side of this photo. More photos of this show can be found here (dailydujour). Chinatown was so much fun, however, I was not feeling that well and had to go back to my hotel early. Getting soaked the day before in a downpour, walking to the La Brea tarpits, and then playing hokum music at my own show really wore me out, I guess!

More photos of Tickleroos
I love this photo by Thinkspace gallery of my painted, restored vintage ukes (my "Tickleroos") all lined up and set up with strings...before they were actually hung on the gallery walls. CLICK images to enlarge for better view.
Also, here is the complete postcard that they designed (Anthony Clarkson did the graphics) for the show (front and back). I am really proud of the way it all came together. To see these uke babies hung between my paintings in a wonderful gallery in L.A. was truly a thrill that I will never forget.
