Well, the excitement wears off and one is left with what is. Now colder fall weather creeping in. Was able to get over to the studio on Tuesday evening for some general cleanup, pulled out some unfinished paintings that had been stored. Looking forward to burying myself in there in a few weekends – still immersed in papers and more until then. This view of the golden sky from last month reminds me I am here.

Last weekend did 24 hours in yosemite. Caught the aspens changing. I am posting photos on flickr soon. It was like this – fairy hunting. Seeing a glistening yellow in the woods, following it with my camera and shooting – then in the distance another one and so on. deeper and deeper into the woods. Just around crane flat off of 120 the whole forest floor is filled with aspens. magical for real.

Kathryn Arnold Painting currently on view at ArtSpan San Francisco, SoMarts Cultural Center

About this work:
This work is from a group of works I did during the fall, winter and early Spring of 2009. In this set I used a more limited palette and like nature in the spring, allowed the forms to apparently emerge. The idea of “pieces” gives the sense that these are part or the beginnings of the new. Wallace Stevens poem “13 blackbirds” gives me the titles for this series of works.

This is the second painting that is currently on view right now in San francisco. It is at the Open Studios Exhibtion at SoMarts. SF is divided and grouped into neighborhoods and then each group has a weekend. This is a good time to visit the studio which will be open Oct 24 and 25 from 11-5.

At the sight of blackbirds
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony ;
Would cry out sharply
(-Wallace Stevens)

This week (Friday)

This week (probably Friday) I plan to go over again to Paule Anglim Gallery which holds group exhibition of Beat Generation artists work (on view currently). My goal is to take some informal photographs and gather information for my new and still developing American Art course. These are the artists on exhibit: Title of exhibtion: Sight Vision Revisited, Artists: Bruce Conner ,Wallace Berman, Joan Brown, Jean Conner, Jay DeFeo, Wally Hedrick, Jess. The exhibtion is excellent and I look forward to my trip number 2. This is the press release from gallery website: Sight Vision Revisited September 8, 2009 – October 10, 2009″As a complement to its Bruce Conner exhibition, Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to present a group of selected works by his friends and contemporaries in its Gallery II. Over the past 20 years the gallery has mounted the Sight Vision series of group shows. Featuring works by Wallace Berman, Joan Brown, Jean Conner, Jay DeFeo, Wally Hedrick, George Herms, Jess and others, the Sight Vision exhibitions focused on the spirit and special rapport of these California artists. Later to be known as ‘Beat Generation Artists’, they shared San Francisco houses, exhibition spaces and a bohemian underground of cross-pollinated ideas with writers, poets and musicians. New practices of fabrication and repurposing of thrown away materials characterized the work.
