The reason I'm posting all these blogs has nothing to do with my willingness to impart knowledge like Lady Bountiful distributing largesse among the poor. I have a "webmistress"--would that be right?--who understands the electronic age with a terrifying thoroughness. It was she who shamed me into this, saying that, if I didn't keep up with this blog, people wouldn't know that I'm living and breathing and painting. (What she didn't say is that they probably won't know that even if I am blogging.)
So, on this bright Monday morning, I'm toasting my webmistress with a cup of coffee, typing up my trivia, and marching forward to redeem this turkey on the worktable.
Cheers!

Upon further Reflection on my Father
About Me
- Priscilla Wallace
- My first attempt to enter the world of fine art was through academic painting at the University of Texas at Austin. I learned what painting was, and, disappointingly, that I couldn’t do it. I left painting as one would leave a failed marriage. It was some years later that I approached making art through making crafts. Since then, I have come to regard fine crafts as fine art: The difference between the two exist on a theoretical level only, because a line separating them cannot be drawn—at least, not for me. In a world made of both “art” and “craft” I have found my home. My artwork seems to best be called “Crafted Paintings.” Still mindful of the principles of design, they are part collage, part mixed media painting, part constructions. They are likely to run off in any of these directions, or others, as the spirit moves them. That spirit expands most successfully when it is beautiful, whimsical, colorful, and rich. These pieces celebrate life in one aspect of it or another, and they seek to create joy in the heart of the viewer. View my art at www.artbycollage.com
