Gwen Fox's Blog: Where creativity unites with success

MY CHALLENGE

Well gals…..I am about to share something with you that I have second thoughts about sharing.   So what is it that is such a challenge? This is a blog about creativity and art but my challenge is not about this ….it is about health.  I want to also be healthy so I can continue doing [...]

IMAGINATION

There is a lot to be said for imagination. My good friend Roberta Garrett sent these photos to me and I thought you would really enjoy them.  We as artists need to see how others express their creativity. You may have seen these before but they are still candy to the eye. Bet you will [...]

DEVELOP OTHER FORMS OF EXPRESSIONS

Have you ever thought you would like to do something different than your normal form of expression?  Creativity is something we can’t seem to keep in a box.  When expressed, creativity grows and fills our life with many images. My main form of creativity is painting and teaching….of which I love!  For years, about fifteen, [...]

PAINTING SURFACE

I have been working on a new painting surface lately which is quite exciting. We as artists usually work on canvas or paper.  Sometimes this limits our thinking.   I normally do Abstracts on canvas so I decided to do pears on Metal.  Why?….just because I can! Choosing a different surface on which to paint [...]

A NEW MAN IN MY LIFE

I have never been in love with a man  who required extra care, being fed special meals several times a day, required being watched 24/7 and  YEE GADS….. the need to be potty trained !!!!! I am not normally drawn to a man with lots of hair or one who is rather pudgy. But this [...]

TAOS STUDIO WORKSHOP

My last workshop of the year was filled with four delightful women from four different states….California, Louisiana, Illinois and Texas.  This workshop was an add-on to my schedule and I held it in my Taos studio.   My studio is great but rather small.  Four tables, four women, many stories, much laughter and lots of [...]

FOLLOWING THE RULES ?

There are lots of rules in art and then there are few. Don’t kid yourself, art and artistic expression is a political game.  Like it or not you play or you lose.  Find out the decorator colors for the season, move in the right circles,  learn color theory, be an expert in design and composition, [...]

GLORIOUS ABSTRACT CLASS IN TAOS

    With the kinks worked out about reducing the dpi, making sure it was a jpg and  finally uploading the photos, I can now show you how much fun the  Glorious Abstract class had.  The photo above shows the class with our class mascot, Emma.  They are standing outside the Stables Gallery and workshop [...]
