I got a notion, out of the blue, to create an alphabet.  This was fun.  The letters are unusual and may require some effort to decode the words.  It might be a bit of a puzzle.  I made up some guidelines, but I was not strict in following the guides.   As I was working on this, it began to remind me of Warhol.  I searched and found his letter prints online.  I scanned through his prints quickly; I did not want to be too influenced by his work.  Some influence, but not too much.  So, I scanned them quickly.  Then made up letters with fun shapes and rich color.

      "Find your unique, signature style, and stick to it."  I guess, maybe, that is good advice, but, I cant do that.  I am boxaphobic.  I want to roam free.

Here I have posted several pictures of women.  Some are recent, some from a few years past.  Some, I may have posted previously. 

I wonder why I create so many pictures of women?  The easy answer is that I just want to paint women.  But there must be more to it than that.  The answer is not easy to formulate.  I am a woman, do I paint the idealized woman that I want to be?  Ummm, I guess that is it.  Being feminine is deeply interesting.  I am exploring fascinating territory.  

Some artist paint their sorrows.  Picasso's  "Guernica", is one of my favorite pictures.  It is devastating, intense suffering is portrayed.  There is no attempt to show the bright side of life.  There was no bright side of life in Spain during that war. 

I am, unfortunately well acquainted with suffering.  But, I do not want to paint pain.  Maybe, making art, for me is escapist, a denial of the desperate low points of life.  I want beauty, joy, spiritual ascendance.  So, I create pictures of what I want.
