What a difficult summer! No rain here, too much there. And there. Well, the calendar says it's pretty much over, reality says it isn't.
But onward. I now use the IPad for reading books and playing games. Doing art on it turned out to be not my cuppa. Too complicated. I'm a simple soul and real paint on real surfaces works best for me. But now I have a fun companion to take on the plane on my monthly trips.
The painting is going well in my weeks in between trips to California. I removed some of the wallpaper from my mother in law's house to use as collage. I've done this sort of thing before but not with 60 yr old wall paper that is crumbly and fragile. I was so excited I stretched up five or six good size painting and slapped on the wallpaper willynilly. Then with each piece I have to figure out how to make it work.. Fun. Ignorance sometimes makes the path easier. Except in the case of the IPad.
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.
How delightful. Such a wonderfully creative simple soul, probably shouldn't have to be bothered by IPad. Glad it works for monthly trips. Painting is wonderful! You make it work!
