Wilkes-Barre 2

The YMCA in Wilkes-Barre from the top of the Provencial Towers Parkade...

Wilkes-Barre

art & architecture: The City of Wilkes-Barre may be experiencing a renaissance...in any case, there are some interesting examples of architecture there. It seems to be that the purest of styles originated and occurred in nearby cities such as Philadelphia and New York. By the time these trends reached places like Wilkes-Barre and Scranton they were morphed, transformed and blended into styles and buildings which may just be a little more interesting....

In Purple

They have such attitude...and know early on that sunglasses always help with that...

With Stripes 2

architectutre: wall sections, deck rails, hopefully some creativity will abound.

art: another art lesson today. I am so excited. Children never cease to amaze me; they are incredibly inspiring. Let's be honest: I never cared much about them until I experienced my own. And there is that double-edged sword: they often drive you insane but when they aren't around, you miss them and their boundless energy and curiosity.

art 2: paintings of Wilkes-Barre coming along slowly...at least I've begun. I hope to post soon!

With Stripes

architecture: still working...turning our little project into quite a big one. Is it possible to do any project without using something vinyl? The number one rule in archtitectural design: anything that starts out as steel turns to wood...anything that starts out as wood turns to vinyl...

art: why can't I stop doing portraits of children? they never seem to bore me...

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to the best man on the planet... Hmmmmm....something with a 7!

Nothing to Wear

Isn't it incredible how the tiniest of females are already obsessed with the way they look and what they are wearing? Is it a basic instinct? Or learned? Or a little of both? How old are we before we realize that it doesn't really matter to anyone but ourselves?

Progress

architecture: booming...lots of work...residential and commercial. presentation tomorrow: addition to lake house. i think that i have designed two good options to transform the 1 story brick 1950s ranch into a 2 story lake cottage...the creative downfall to architecture is that unless you can convincingly persuade the client to spend a little bit of money, chances are you are back to vinyl siding and dryvit

art: has anyone even taken one of my postcards?

Attitude in Blue

Little girls are amazing. There's something to capture in each expression. There's something in the way that they know so little and understand so much at the same time.

Art & Architecture

OK, my first entry, hmmmm, a painting a day or a residential addition a week, whatever comes first. Labels don't really work for what I do, so it is difficult for me to define myself and my work. I could call myself a Renaissance girl, but that would be way too presumptuous....my goal is just to do what I love every day, even if I love to do too many things at once!

Architecture: bountiful...addition at North Lake, addition at Harveys Lake

Painting: not so bountiful...can't display at Pierce Street Gallery anymore...unless I help organize...maybe I'll volunteer and add "gallery manager" to my list of jobs...
