Yesterday on the University Subway, 13 April. She was a beautiful Korean woman. My initial sketches are in gold ink and a bit scribbly - if I’ve focused on someone to draw them, I seem to be able to see them later almost photographically honing the drawing & for skin tones & clothing colours. But... I wish to move into imaginal colour, hence the... spectral wildness.
I need to figure out how to stop Instagram from posting here - my comments on my photos come in as headers! Awful!!!
This is my first videoed reading of my new novella, Fugue in Green. It has received great reviews. This novella was written during NaNoWriMo 2012! It kind of wrote itself. I am happy with this little book.
The Quattro Launch was fabulous - crowded, a great line-up of authors and their books, a fun night.
So far, I have 8 reviews of Fugue in Green, and the reviewers all like the book! Ok, at present they are reviews by my friends, who are all authors, which floors me and blows me away - I can't believe how wonderful people are! I am humbled and grateful before them. I have all the reviews collected, and readable in screens that open on the page, on my FIG webpage.
The cover is a detail of my 5' x 5' painting, Charcoal Poems.
Quattro produced a beautiful book, the paper is good vellum, the print is dark, and there is a full line between each indented paragraph, making the reading experience quite wonderful. You can buy a copy from Indigo Books in Canada (Amazon Canada is charging more than the book costs), and Amazon in the US (where they are priced correctly and are a bit cheaper due to the exchange rate). There's also Quattro Books, but they're a small press and it might take awhile to receive a copy purchased there. Though if you want to put in a larger order, definitely contact them to see about the price. I also sell them - so connect if you're in Toronto.
The full launch video of all the authors whose books Quattro launched on January 31, 2918 is at my Poetry and Music Salons channel.
Deepti Gupta's 'Snow Angels' Kathak Indian dance performance will be performed in Peterborough this weekend. IM her for more details. I was the photographer for the flyer. And I include a gif I made of their beautiful dance during a rehearsal last Fall. Last week I dropped in on a rehearsal, and had fun processing a few of the photos after I finished my work today - photoshop is like snack food, nothing relaxes me as much, I so enjoy playing with images.
