“Mernie has worked out a new painting technique, but is frustrated in her search for a theme,” said Rose. “I trust you have a goodie after her time in Paris.”

Gamdi rolled the gold ball in his hand and tossed it in the air where it expanded into patterns of criss crossing crop circle shapes and curlicues. “There’s far more input than I expected. You really found all these artists willing to pop in?”

Peter Paul chuckled. “When I mentioned watercolor it got everyone excited. Moving pigments through gooey oil or plastic paint in that heavy gravity takes a lot of energy. Although she’s not well practiced in this medium, Mernie has got some drawing skills and knows color mixing. Pretty much any soul who left some good work on Earth can reach in and squiggle pigment through water. Watercolors are made for angel energy. They will be re-imagining what they did once before, but just for fun this time.” — From Chapter 12

An artist revisits puberty every time she or he transitions between concepts that form bodies of work. You try to hang on to what you’ve outgrown, have emotional setbacks and act spastic in fits and spurts. Acne is optional.

Seeking sunnier landscapes I left Woodstock NY for Tucson where I'll teach painting & finish a scifi novel. Images are my originals. Links at mernie.com
