A Herd of Topics

Not enough brain power tonight to write about scrum. I tried, I got distracted and have now spent 45 minutes typing with no satisfactory results.
So on to other miscellaneous short topics I’ve wanted to mention recently (mostly links out to the blog world):
- Above is an ACEO I bought from the Cycling Artist – Tina Mammoser. I love her seascapes. Gorgeous. When my house is done and I have room for art again I hope to purchase a larger piece, but couldn’t resist this little purple one the other day.
- Seth Apter over at The Altered Page has started up another round of The Pulse, a compilation of artist interviews.
At the moment, he’s posting answers to the question about collecting stuff. My bowl of rocks is in this post: Show and Tell Part 1. This is all a huge amount of work on Seth’s parth – so thank you Seth. It’ll be a fun few weeks as the answers to the 5 questions are posted. - Came across a new artist blog, which I can already tell I’m going to love, by Diane McGregor. Definitely check out her blog Working Space for some interesting reading. Every post is packed full of great content.
- This weekend I went gallery hopping with Alyson Stanfield, of artbizcoach.com, and a handful of other artists. We had a really good time and saw some of the preview art for Dialog: City, an arts and cultural event in conjunction with the Democratic National Convention, happening right now in our wonderful city. I can’t decide if I’ll head downtown tomorrow to see some of these events with the crowds or not. Looks fun, but also looks like a potential zoo.
Alyson took many pictures (if you subscribe to her newsletter you would have seen me this morning in the intro, well, except I haven’t been able to get it to load yet today – I think the server is having problems).
Here’s a photo she took of just me. Behind me is the Pepsi Center (the red building in the far back) – where much of the political action is. We’re standing on the top of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver.

Thanks for the little mention. :) Glad you like the painting!
And I’m really jealous that you get to just go out gallery-hopping with Alyson. One day I’m going to just pop over to Colorado and meet you both. (apparently I lived there for a year when I was about 3 years old, needless to say I don’t remember)
Off to check out those new blogs now!
thanks for all those links!
Hi Lisa, Nice to “see” you ! Love the little purple ACEO – Tina’s work is beautiful. Very envious of you “gallery hopping” with Alyson Stanfield. I’ve been working through her book and finding it really inspiring. Interesting other links too :)
Thanks Lisa for the link to The Pulse…and for the other links as well. I will be checking them out!
Glad you all liked the links. There is a lot of good stuff out there in the blog world.
Alyson is wonderful. Definitely pop over to visit anytime Tina. Rhiannon – yes – her book is wonderful.
Would be fun to have Tina come visit us, huh? I really like this pic of you–if I do say so myself. :)
Rhiannon: You come see us, too!
