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

Artnotes: Cookies Will Do
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: Ahead
Beat the Drum Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/paper 24 x 17″ 61 x 43cm 225.00 Early this week, we went to Bologna. We drove about an hour to arrive near where our painting workshop participants will be staying next week. Berlino, panting hysterically in the back of the car, jumped out as soon as we opened the hatch. I wonder why I don’t go to Bologna more … Continue reading Artnotes: Ahead

Pansies on Newsprint Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/paper 11 x 15″ 27 x 38cm 125.00 Berlino, Berliiinooooo! Blair and I were searching for Berlino shortly after we returned from Stimigliano and let him out into the yard in Roccamalatina. Night was starting to fall, and we try to establish his whereabouts every so often, even though our yard is not much more than an acre. Pansies … Continue reading Artnotes: In the Garden

Lemons from Chris’ Tree Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/canvas 11 x 13″ 28 x 33cm 375.00 At our Sunday Salon, an artist read aloud some of my writings from Artnotes Paris. I was really surprised at what I had written all those years ago: about change, and feeling young. Change keeps us on our toes, and thinking. .Wild Hyacinth Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/canvas 17 x 23.5″ 60 x … Continue reading Artnotes: Inspiring Each Other

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
Artnotes: The Doing
Lola and the Satyr Laurie Fox Pessemier Acrylic/canvas 13 x 16″ 33 x 41cm 550.00 We are on our way back North from our sojourn at Pompeii. We are leaving 48 hours early, because the weather is very windy and rainy, and predicted to continue like this through Monday. Conditions make it impossible to paint outdoors, but we are ready to leave, anyway. We never got to Naples, … Continue reading Artnotes: The Doing
