I have mixed feelings about New Year's resolutions. I generally think they're a joke, and I always laugh when I think about the huge number of people who go to the gym for about 2 weeks and give up.
However, I do like the idea of starting fresh and reevaluating the lives we live. Last year was a pretty good year. I got a new job, continued to pay off my debt, landed a residency and solo show for next year, and continued to learn about gardening.
I remember at the beginning of the year I told myself that I wanted to be more collaborative. I think I failed at that resolution, but that is something that I'll always need to work at. Since I'm an only child, I need to remember that I'm not an island.
So, this year - what things are important? What things should be improved? What should I stop doing? And, what have I forgotten in the whirlwind of everyday life?
This year I will:- Graduate from grad school!
- Read for fun.
- Keep learning about gardening.
- Be more involved with other people who are making art.
- Rent out the condo and figure out the right way to do it.
- Get 'cash flow positive'
- Be better to my body.
- Slow down and think.
New Year's Resolution: More creativity in 2012
According to the Minnesota Arts Board, 20,000 Minnesotan fine artists make a living in our state. A recent article in the Star Tribune suggested that Minnesota's identity should lie not with its cold winter weather but with its creative economy. ...more... - Dec 29, 11
It's been a long time since I've done any blogging of any kind, but I've decided to get back to writing for examiner.com. Check out my latest article on finding the best place for your year-end gift:
Year-end giving: Finding the smartest place to invest before the New Year
A recent study done by Charity Navigator found that, on average, non-profits receive 41% of their annual gifts within the last few weeks of the year. Similarly, Network for Good reports that approximately a third of all of its charitable contributions are made during... click here to read the rest of the article.
I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year! - Jun 19, 11
I just pulled about 5 cups of strawberries from the garden, and the berries taste heavenly. I can barely wait to eat some with pound cake and ice cream tonight.This afternoon, I also made some Strawberry Smooch- a lovely accompaniment for ice cream, oatmeal, or pancakes:
4-3/4 c Strawberries, pureed
1-1/2 c Pure Maple Syrup
1 c Unsweetened Apple Juice
3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 packet Powdered Pectin
Combine all ingredients (except for pectin) in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add pectin and stir until completely dissolved. Boil rapidly for a minute and pour into jars for canning.
All we need now is some sunshine! - Jan 30, 11There is something in me that desires silence and solitude. It all started when I first started hiking a couple years ago, and now I cannot shake the craving to be alone in the woods. I'm reading A Book of Silence by Sara Maitland, and she reconfirms my addiction to the rich feelings of being in natural silence. In her book, she describes how she felt when she was in self-inflicted solitude for 40-days. Her senses and emotions heightened.I crave that feeling. But why??
- Aug 02, 10Summer showers bring large tomato plants! Thisyear's plants are HUGE! Almost all of the tomato plants and cucumber vines are taller than me. Peppers are flourishing, and herbs are bushy and healthy. Rabbits have eaten all of the peas, beans, spinach, beet greens, chard, and pak choi. However, I've torn up all of the greens we planted in the spring and seeded new greens, chard, carrots, spinach, peas, and pak choi. Maybe the little bunny will grow too big to fit through the garden fence soon.And, my mint might just take over the county. Mojitos, anyone?
- Jul 05, 10It's been so rainy this weekend (aside from the 4th) that I haven't been able to get into the garden very much. It seems to be growing better than last year. One of the LARGE elms is dying - which normally, I would be sad about, but it will be great for the garden. I am, however, sad that it will be expensive to take out.One problem has been the baby bunnies. Though they are SO cute, they ate the peas (ground up), all the beat greens, and much of the strawberry plants. Those little bastards. I'm trying to find where they are getting under the fence, and am hoping they grow quickly.
- May 12, 10It's been so rainy and gloomy that I'm feeling a little glum. But - I'm completely excited about the garden expansion.I can't wait until the veggies start growing. We still need to fill in with some cedar mulch, but it's looking pretty good so far. Even from looking at this picture (taken about 3 days ago), things already look bigger. Here are a couple photos of what the seedlings looked like on May 1. I know they're really small. Next year, I think I need to plant fewer seeds per container, get even more or better lighting, and start them even earlier. I always need a project in January to get my mind off the death-freeze weather.And- I think last weekend was the last chance for morel hunting. These are actually about as long as my hand.
- Mar 21, 10We're home from vacation in the Four Corners area - Beautiful! I totally love Moab, UT. The landscape is crazy weird. I already miss the desert and long hikes.I went out in the garden today, and it looks like some plants are coming up again. I expected the rhubarb, chives, and strawberries, but I didn't know for sure that the sage and mint would come back. I was also excited to see that the cloves of garlic I planted last fall started to grow. They were planted from store-bought heads, so I never know if that stuff will reproduce like nature intends. I should have planted some peas today, but maybe I'll run out there tomorrow to get some into the ground.I can't wait to start eating food from the back yard again!
- Mar 08, 10
A couple of weeks ago I planted my first seeds - some pepper plants (thai chili and Hungarian yellow), cabbage, cilantro, and parsley. I might have made a mistake by already planting some carrot seeds (Berlicum and Snow White) and spinach- hopefully they will just be extra big and hearty by the time they can be transplanted outside. This past week I planted more peppers (serrano and tobasco), tomatoes (Delicious, Purple Russians, and another kind I can't recall the name), and mini pak choi.
I hung the grow lights my mom gave me and Denny for Christmas. The seedlings seem to dig the extra rays, and I'm sure the neighbors are curious about the purple light emitting from the basement window. - Nov 25, 09
This is a great tutorial on how to make spices. Blackhound blog:
http://www.blackhoundblue.com/2009/11/pumpkin-pie-spices-or-how-to-roll-your-own/ - Oct 11, 09As I sit here watching the red squirrel eat the seeds from under the bird feeder, the leaves are falling, and I remember that it's easier to see the life through the trees without those leaves. I always dread the arrival of winter, but this year is somewhat different.I canned my first vegetables today. Maybe my process wasn't perfect, but soon I will have preserved Pickled Green Tomato and Hot Pepper Relish to last me the next year. The harvest from my garden was not spectacular this year, but I learned a lot. Next year will be better, and I have seeds to start it from what I grew this year.This summer brought many new things. New woodpeckers came - the piliated and a flicker, also a broad-shouldered hawk. Tomatoes, carrots, peppers, leeks, broccoli, cabbage and herbs. I was excited for the beets, but those just didn't work out too well.Over the winter, I need to get a grow light and start plants from seed in January. (That is only a couple months away) Next year I will have compost, and I must mulch.As the snow falls tonight, it feels like it might be early preparations for Thanksgiving, but it is never too soon to be thankful for a productive year- even if everything is covered with snow in early October.
- Sep 15, 09but it's filled with so many new things that it almost feels like spring. So, yes. I am still in love with my garden. Tomato plants are taller than me, and I'm getting new fruit every day. The carrots are almost done, sadly. But they've grown up to the size of my fingers. Cucumbers are slow but sure, and peppers are growing like MADNESS! Yesterday, Denny started making hot sauce out of the habaneros, and I almost went blind and choked when I walked into the house.Yes, the wax peppers in this photo really are the size of the cucumber. They are insanely huge.
- Aug 03, 09I'm so excited! I'm working on my teeny mini-camo paintings again for the Art-O-Mat machines. Now I have pieces in the Chambers hotel in Mpls and the Whitney Museum in NYC. Going to try to remember to see if I can get into some more... Reminder to self...This is from the last series of mini-camos. I'll have pics of the new ones up soon. They'll be even awesomer.(Man, my brain is mush. Wish I had endless energy and a keen wit no matter what time of day. Guess I'll just strive for being "nice".)
- Jul 25, 09
- Jul 13, 09But I'm happy. I know I would rather be really tired after working long hours in the studio this week as opposed to working shorter hours, taking it easy, and having a weaker show. Yes, sleep is a great friend of mine, and so is beer, but there are times for those things later. My paintings are flowing - they're flowing somewhere totally different - and I need to listen.Sorry, I know the contrast is really bad on this photo, but you get the drift. I need to spend more time with these four new paintings. I'm not sure what they're all about... we just haven't talked enough yet. It's like I'm working with new people at the studio and at a job. Yes. These paintings have personalities. But they are shy. I want to know what they're all about, but it's going to take some searching for me as well.And they're not done. I think these - like my first camo on cedar - are just the start of what is coming. I wanted to take a break in August, but maybe that's just not right. I probably should just keep creating and find out what is next.I feel like the spark is back in my art. Maybe it doesn't show in the composition or controlled line qualities of these paintings, but I have taken out the monotony. Even though I loved painting the clash series, they became more formulaic and less inspired. I knew people liked them. I liked them. But ... they aren't my ends.They are old friends. And they are dependable.But these new paintings... how do I know that they're not the "wrong crowd". Am I hanging out with the right influences? Am I doing this because I HAVE to do this?Yes. I don't think I can take a break in August.
- Jul 13, 09I've had a productive Saturday so far. I don't want to talk long, but here's what I'm working on today:And sometimes you just have to make a nod to the way your palette looks after painting a layer.
- Jul 08, 09I found a new love today. A love for this Blog - it's called this isn't happiness. I guess I just love the simplicity of its format and pop-iconographic photos and art. The page makes me want to collect any and all images I love. Like this one:(Image: Ana Bagayan from this isn't happiness)
- Jul 06, 09
It's been almost 3 years since I've had a full-time job. 40 hours a week is a lot of time to spend anywhere, so it'll be interesting to see if I can adjust right away or how it goes. I think I'll really like the schedule, though. I've really been craving a set schedule, so I think this will be great.
I worked in the studio today- the last full weekday studio session for a while. I even kept my door open for a couple of hours. It was a different experience than staying in my own world. Here's what I did today... the new layers took me 4 hours, even though it doesn't look too different than it did yesterday.Still, lots to do before the 20th. Lots to do. - Jul 03, 09
It's always seemed to me that people that have gardens are OBSESSED with them. For some reason, I didn't think that I'd be that way. But I am. I am obsessed with my garden. I admit.
I've been reading books on environment, food, earth, what-have-you... and I am currently reading the Omnivore's Dilemma, so I have been thinking at length about the state of the food we eat, where it comes from, and how I can make a better impact (or rather... less of a negative impact) on our earth. So, for me, the more tasty goodness I can get out of my garden, the better. (Read the book, so far it's excellent.)Here are some of my new treasures...So I can definitely see how a person can get all wrapped up in gardening. I ate my first snap pea today, too. Hungarian Yellow Peppers, Peas, Beans, and Cucumbers to come. Mmmmm. - Jun 29, 09
in this messy place. Well, I take that back. It's not a messy place, it's a place that's full of work in progress. Here's a new piece I'm working on:
I can't believe how much I'm enjoying working with brushes. And I've always been nervousabout shape and content in my paintings. I know these brushwork camo paintings are fairly literal interpretations of a variety of patterns, but just working with their shapes and forms are making me more comfortable in working with pre-designed images. By working with layers as I was before, I never really had to commit to a layout before I was ready - or before I thought the painting was ready. I still love working with layers and am continuing to be relentless with my surface treatment, but I feel that I am better equipped to anchor those qualities to something more concrete and technical. - Jun 26, 09
I found out today that the person I'm showing with at the Northfield Arts Guild next month pulled out. Although this means a considerable amount of work for me, I am extremely excited to have a solo show in the gallery that shows my former college professors' work. This is definitely the biggest show I have done in my career and am grateful for the opportunity to even be showing my work at NAG.I'm meeting with the gallery on Tuesday - we'll see if I should keep my original vision for this show or release a bunch of crazy things I've been dreaming of creating.But the chickens are definitely coming out. Definitely. - Mar 05, 09
As one of the people cut in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts lay-offs and program cuts yesterday, I am completely torn up. I feel like something in me has died or been stolen. I loved that job so much that I didn't even anticipate that it might get cut.
I would estimate that my department raised an average of over $50,000 per month with basic memberships and individual gifts. I was excited to grow with the members, see them get excited about the Institutes new energy, and cultivate a new base of funding for the institution. But my entire team was cut.It's one thing if one or two of us were fired because of poor performance or large salaries, but to cut a program that brings in over half a million dollars annually - even in times of economic strain - just seems idiotic. I can't stand it - still developing new ideas of failure. Failure happens, sometimes it's completely out of your hands. Sometimes things, situations, people fail to materialize to the hopes we have.Oi. I never thought losing a job could break my heart.
