almost done with my carved tick marks on heart fetish #87; my soar fingers have been overworked on this little 5×5 i've been creating these symbols in my art work for over 30 years and they feed my obsessiveness in my symbol oriented soul combining my repertoire of images with paul klee's 'tree nursery' line designs is just what the doctor ordered this first monday of november #treenursery #paulklee #kansasartist #mixedmediaartist #latinaartist #hearts #foundobjectart https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dXSKnBe70/?igshid=sml14y57a0xz

i have created 77 heart fetishes so far in my career as an artist, and their platforms have always measured 5 1/2" × 5 1/2" my partner in creative crime, steve o, has just readied a stack of five by fives for the future heart fetishes i have wandering in my minds eye the top row, will be number 78 thru 80 when they are done & when i am done with this little batch they will be joined by a collection of heart fetishes that are being inspired by found objects the glass was found when someone broke into my car and tore up some beaded trinkets that kept me company on my stick shift i knew immediately that the sparkling glass would become a heart---kinda of that 'from ashes a phoenix' mentality over the last few years i have spied the rest of these items and they have spoken to me most heart-ily if i stay true to course, this will take me to heart fetish squared #92 someday i would love to see all 100 heart fetishes come together on a wall, a little square dance :o) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hXs1_nW64ozfS_cB3-Jgk0S2MACseORL4FR00/?igshid=1jblv3eftaplc

Finally finished this 6 inch by 36 inch art piece called "zone of avoidance". Two years ago a woman saw this incomplete piece at an art show I was in and said, i want it. I didn't know it at the time but my creative stream was hitting a wall, it wouldn't have taken much to finish the painting, but alas it hung in my studio haunting me. I just contacted the woman who was interested two long years ago and without much explanation on my part she said to me "I understand" (such powerful words from one human to another) and then she said, "I still want it." I am humbled beyond words. (at Topeka, Kansas)

i’m zoning in on our capitol  this morning

[sm-oart]

i’m working on a piece that is currently gravitating toward the craziness that is going on in our legislature in kansas---i can’t get that craziness out of my head so it is part of this piece. TO THE STARS i go unlike our elected officials who are playing with our education.  I CALL THIS “the zone of avoidance”
