I like mystery in art; lost edges, left out details, suggestions, space for the viewer to create parts of the story….Thanks for stopping by.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-21362206195186439862009-01-03T09:37:00.000-08:002009-01-03T09:37:00.000-08:00Luisa: Welcome.

I’m going to go pin up your words in the studio, as inspiration! The images of figures are actually very small. They were born however, in rooms with a lot of natural light. My new studio, under construction, is big and has lots of windows and sky lights. I’m working there in a temporary way, on plywood set on saw horses. And I am working towards larger pieces. I have supports up to 20 x 20, and when I can do those, I’ll try bigger.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-70580052771130197082009-01-03T09:27:00.000-08:002009-01-03T09:27:00.000-08:00Jeane: image love; that’s art, succinctly!

My current black and white phase will run its full course and I will pick up colors again, I’m sure. <BR/><BR/>Elizabeth: Greetings to you for 2009 also. Thanks for visiting!<BR/><BR/>Miss Mary: Yes, I just love Roberta’s depth. There is so much personal meaning in her work. At her web site I found that she has a book of her collage for sale. I bought one from her (you simply send her an email) and I am so glad I did. Plus in the book are her quotes, and writings about her work. One quote is “Exposing what is beneath the surface is a long and tedious process.” Another is “I paste bits and pieces together to find answers.” I think she is a process person too.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-44372209630153812692009-01-03T06:29:00.000-08:002009-01-03T06:29:00.000-08:00Love the Roberta Marks website. . . so elegantly s...Love the Roberta Marks website. . . so elegantly simple and ultimately inspiring me to work with some of the other stuff I have stash away.

She has a poetic esthetic. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Bob: Thanks for your kind remarks. I have seen figures in your photography. They are stunning! I collect a lot of images of art. Predominantly that art is non objective. But I notice the next most frequent subject I collect is abstracted figures. I know another series of figures is in the incubation phase. Someday I am going to teach a workshop focusing on textures…..Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-86267148083263790312009-01-02T18:22:00.000-08:002009-01-02T18:22:00.000-08:00A wonderful abstract figure, one of my favorite su...A wonderful abstract figure, one of my favorite subjects. Unfortunately my wife specializes in these and I try not to overlap her areas too much, so I must enjoy from afar (I'm not too good at them anyway!). <BR/><BR/>I'm fascinated by textures and I love what you've done with that in this piece!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-67597040878176735392009-01-02T14:22:00.000-08:002009-01-02T14:22:00.000-08:00Hi Leslie - I just had fun going to the sites you ...Hi Leslie - I just had fun going to the sites you reccommended - I especially liked Roberta Marks - what fun collages and constructs! she has a nice sense of humour...I feel like I just spent a day at MOMA!GailOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556665956317683667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-33073410890969469142009-01-02T14:18:00.000-08:002009-01-02T14:18:00.000-08:00A picture tells a thousand stories, Thanks for the...A picture tells a thousand stories, Thanks for the tour it was exciting and inspiring.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14742966814564218469noreply@blogger.com
