The Glamourous Life - Portraits and... what is going on with the script?!

What is in the works?


These three paintings are commissioned pieces - The Grand Kids ...so far. They are in costumes that somewhat reflect their interests or personalities.

It is an interesting proposition to paint someone only from a photo. There is so much more information in person. I did have an number of photos of each of the kids... and they aren't noted for their ability to sit still.


And on the movie script front... ...The main character is called Grace... she is a self help addict. It is a comedy...
and I will tell you more shortly...
Mostly because I would have to type something ...



Here is my relaxation project... another silk blouse! The pattern idea sketched out on an envelope is a perfect example of the idea of beauty that I mean to talk about. This is one point... I am not this shape, yet I am trained to draw and more importantly 'see' this shape. And that is just ideas of should in my head. This can be explained better... I will give it a think and get back to you on it!


Here it is! the buttons, which are not on yet, are glass baubles. I lovalovalove clothes!

There we are ...A few things that I have been up to.
Easter was fabulous. (that rabbit! what a nut with the chocolate!)
Visiting,visited.
Bike rides in sunshine.


Cheeridoodles!

The Glamourous Life Script for the Movie .

The Glamourous Life - Blessedness

Blessedness


like being busier than a one legged man in a bum kicking contest....

(the busy part is the blessing.)
(I have to thank Laurie for the saying.)
There was a meeting for a organizing a festival called Creative Aging. I need, of course, another interest...

Many different senior groups were represented at this meeting- program coordinators for senior homes and senior drop ins, a drama professor, senior outreach...etc. The point of it being that creative interests and activity have a very significant effect on quality of life... health- mental and physical...no surprise if one participates in this already.
The main idea, that I was hearing, is that the classes are to have a measurable acquisition of skill. So the instruction of the classes is from professionals in the artistic field- Visual Arts, Writing, Drama, Dance.
The age group is the interesting part. There are so many interesting messages from the Elders.
The challenging part is to evoke an interest in the program from a greater number of seniors. They, on the whole, don't seem to think that their lives have been very interesting. !!!

If you have any ideas, thoughts or comments..I would love to hear them.

As the days go by, I realize I am doing this for me future self.
