Houston has returned to a rainful summer. No complaints here.
Paintings of trees, nature, nurture continue to be my focus for now although I guess I finally really see how out of the loop I am, feeling more and more like an outsider artist, because of what I paint and how I do it. I've been painting since 1964, and due to life's ups and downs never quite finished my art education. Although for two decades I taught it. Life is funny.
I'm working on a solo show for January, 2013....yet I sometimes dream about having a yard sale with the work that is still hanging around in the studio and the gallery. I think maybe many people feel this way at some point. Just a little tired, maybe. Still flying to California once a month to look after my mom....guess I feel a little disjointed. Ah, crap. Just venting. Summer blahs.
Peace.

About Me
- Gail Siptak
- I am living and painting in the little town of Houston. A far way from my San Francisco beginnings. I paint what I see of the human condition, be it human, animal or object. The glimmer of humor, pathos, and spirit in so much of what I see is the basis of what I paint.
The work is beautiful! Perhaps we are on the "downhill", but we have "far" to go before we sleep.
ReplyDeleteI think annell has said it beautifully. don't underestimate the toll that travelling and caring for your mum takes either, as strong as you think you are, it's a hard thing to do.
