Myartspace closed

I've been out of touch for so long did not know www. MyArtSpace.com closed in January of this year! Too bad. It was a nice gallery.  But like everything in commerce it is limited to the generation that created it (as well as tides & fate)
     Fortunately blogspot continues to hold its space open for us. more later. bmmartin

 Ola, mis amigos:  Been a long time between logs. Acquired tablet should facilitate new entries.

Still Around

It's been almost 6 months since I posted to my blog.  My art still appears in the Rio Cafe & Cantina in Astoria, Oregon.  Most recently I hung a ship"s figure head bust in the Cantina.  Paper mache it is a busty "boat-babe".  Shades of the Desdemona here at the Graveyard of the Pacific  southwest corner of Washington State.

Made a bobble-head doll for busdriver from Pacific Transit...to amuse her....and myself.

Read Evelyn Waugh"s Brideshead Revisited recently.  Glad to find that the artist's viewpoint has not changed much in 75 years.  Lots of good metaphor.  Published in 1943, contains a profile of a family with children named JohnJohn and Caroline.  Must have been personal friend of the Kennedy's. Rather a gossipy account of a single family of titled Brits goings & comings prior to WW II.

As you might assume, I am aging steadily.  Sold my last rundown car to the recycler and have been riding the bus ever since..saving beaucoup bucks!  getting exercise, walking and remembering when being outside was a prime objective.  Baking more. Watchingover my adult offspring.

Until i hook up the digital camera with documentation of my most recent work, photos will appear... Later...Barbara Martin
