New paintings!

Serena — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:24:30 +0000

As well as setting a really dangerous precedent of two blog posts in one week, I’m also getting into the bad habit of posting a lot of images and very little text. I’ll try to get better about that, though I secretly believe that people are, in general, too lazy to read lot of text anyway.¹

As promised, here are my four most recent paintings. They’re actually finished, which is more than I can usually say! We’ll see about continuing this trend.

Everyone should have blue skin.

spring

summer

fall

Voila! I’m going to save up for a couple of canvases² so next time I don’t have to paint on paper.

Have I lost you yet?
Did you know: en française, ‘canvas’ is ‘toile’. Not to be confused with etoile or toilette.

Accordion?

I’m not in the habit of writing “this is what’s going on in my life” kind of posts, but this week has big news: I caved and bought an accordion. I’ve been wanting to learn accordion for a while now, but could never find any instruments to try out, let alone buy. I’m discovering all kinds of neat things and challenges.¹ Still very excited.²

Also, there’s a really cool guy in Toronto who does fabulous YouTube accordion tutorials, as well as entertaining street performances. He might be my new hero. Highly recommended.

Mostly challenges, in fact.
Although I think some of the reeds may need re-waxing.

Brady Earnhart, brilliant musician and professor, has a new song. And I got to make the music video! In beautiful HD glory:
