Tulip   Laurie Fox Pessemier   Acrylic/paper  23.5 x 17″   60 x 43cm  275.00 It’s hard to eclipse the ECLiPSE for news this week.  It was a non-event in Europe, where we didn’t have as much as a blink, but as my heart is often in the USA, I paid attention. The eclipse has always been a major event in my life.  I experienced a total solar eclipse with … Continue reading

SOLD Fox Pessemier   Acrylic/paper  23.5 x 17″   60 x 43cm  275.00 My best friend isn’t coming to visit in April as planned.  Events beyond our control have upset the apple cart; pie will not be served.   Life is full of surprises. Berlino, meanwhile, is happy we came back to Roccamalatina.  He loves his yard, and for the first time, we are here to see different wild flowers in … Continue reading Artnotes: Cookies Will Do

Artnotes: Tricked Out

Baffled Bunny   Laurie Fox Pessemier    Acrylic/canvas    9.5 x 12  24 x 30cm  250.00  Walking up the street today I noticed someone’s name on their mailbox.   It was big letters, edge to edge “FARAONA”.  It had the sense of being cut out of a newspaper.   When you see big letters like that, placed near one another, on paper, it gives a different sense than reading it on a screen. … Continue reading Artnotes: Tricked Out

Artnotes: Genius Inside

Snake with Offering (Pompeii)  Laurie Fox Pessemier    Acrylic/canvas    10.5 x 18″  27 x 46cm  450.00  I am typing Artnotes on a new “old” computer.  I purchased a reconditioned HP, because my 12 year old Asus was failing.  The Asus still works, but I really needed a different computer to run our Zoom Art Salons.   This one is just a few years old, and renewed.   And it cost one … Continue reading Artnotes: Genius Inside
