Yoon Mrs. Pequignot, I am unsure how much you listen to 90.7 (since I know Caitlin doesn't really listen to it), but I hope you can agree that the following could be considered as a detriment to a part of this nation's culture, if not a tragedy: "90.7 FM strengthens core news service, providing news 24/7 starting Friday at 4 p.m. Visit www.wmfe.org/radioschedule for more info."

Nope... :( It has decided to do what WUFT (Gainesville) did: focus its free radiowave to news and talk while relocating classical music to HD wave (which can be heard via Internet or through a special HD radio that must be purchased). Even though WMFE tries to entice the public by saying "classical music will be on 24/7 in the HD," I bet not many ... Read Morepeople will be listening to it because of their lack of time to listen from the Internet/lack of finance to buy special radios. Soon, I fear that those stations would look at the statistics and say, "You see? More people are listening to our normal radiowaves--" (which is not necessarily true) "--while less people are listening to our HD station [which would become true, I think]. So we shall get rid of the HD station because it just takes away money."
The horror!

Kathleen Marie Holshek Pequignot One of my favorite daily oil painters. Her bold brushstrokes really appeal to me. She is able to take a simple still life and infuse it with so much interest for the eye!

So, finally, I have the air time for our Dr Phil episode! It'll be Tuesday, Dec 1st. Here in Austin it plays at 3pm ... not sure if it's the same elsewhere. I'll actually be teaching in Sedona at the time, but someone will tape it for me. ...

Kathleen Marie Holshek Pequignot I just won this painting on Ebay from a folk/whimsical artist in Boca Raton, Florida. The colors are just delightful, and I love the city theme. It's fun to support other artists--I hope she gets more business and higher prices!!!! I think this painting will certainly make me smile... and someday, I'll be living in a city with a Central Park. ;)

I love the mixture between the angular windows on the building on the right and the tree-shaped window on the green building! :)

Glad you like this Yoon. I can't wait to hang it up someplace where I can get lost in the shapes and colors. :)

I've had some small ATC-sized conceptual drawings that I have wanted to paint in acrylics for a long time, so I found three 8x10 gallery wrapped canvases in my studio closet and began the first one this morning while my internet was out of service. ...

Thanks Terri. I have 2 other abstracts to work on, but today I'm goofing around reading all my friends' art blogs and listening to holiday music. LOL I did 2 thumbnail sketches in my Moleskine though, so I guess that counts as "working". ha ha!

Some days all you can get out is a quick sketch before dinner, but most of the time that is satisfying enough. Surprisingly, the simplicity of shapes and color fills the need to express a thought or feeling.

Kathleen Marie Holshek Pequignot Sketching at Starbucks...

I needed a high octane Venti Iced Coffee blast from Starbucks, so my daughter happily drove me for my fix. :) Ahhhhhh. Relief. Sketched this while we chatted and discussed her Stetson University essay.

Abstract ideas, scribbles, sketches... whatever. Just playing with paint, colored pencils, and ink. I'm having the best time this semester with no grad school classes. It's much more fun to play in the studio burning Asian Spice incense from Pier 1 Imports and drinking green tea. :)

Time spent in the art studio today--playing with original carved rubber stamps, gluing collaged papers into the daily journal... add some watercolors and colored pencils. Finding the meaning. Life is good. :)

Kathleen Marie Holshek Pequignot Illustration Friday's challenge: GERMS... :)

Source: somanystars.blogspot.com
Illustration Friday challenge for this week was GERMS; I decided to use the oil pastels in another "organic" looking abstract to illustrate the theme in an abstract way. 6.5 x 4.5 oil pastels on Strathmore Pastel paper.

Instead of getting back to the abstract this morning, I decided to sketch a quick watercolor as a warm-up activity during today's studio time. I was more in the mood for a nature scene with some florals. ...

It always amazes me when I go through the birthing of an abstract. It's a combination of thought, experiment, and adaptation. Rarely is the original vision achieved as pictured in the creative mind; it takes great patience and trust to get to the final form.From pencil sketch to collage elements... ...

I can just see it now:
"Hey, Caitlin, do you kno--"
"Mom!! My music is missing!"
"What do you mean?"
"The [composer] for the lesson is missing! Argh! What do I do? I wrote the phrasing and fingerings down there and everything!"... Read More
"......Yoon, I believe I got your answer."
;-D ...Of course, I hope nothing like that happens... 0:-)

Kathleen Marie Holshek Pequignot My acrylics are all sitting here ready to go, but I had to be an over-achiever in the kitchen this afternoon, and now I'm making German Sauerbraten---this meal is taking forever. Hopefully I can paint more tomorrow. :(
