The strokes just 'worked', and it just came together.. but that's not always the case.<br /><br />When a painting 'works', you take a step back and try to figure out why, so you can apply whatever the 'magic formula' is next time. When it doesn't work, it makes it all the harder to start the next one. --in fact, it becomes tedious work.<br /><br />You toggle back and forth wondering whether you had too much self confidence at the start and took the process for granted. Then, I like to blame things that really don't have any affect on the end result-- like whatever crap music Ralph's playing. Because, you know, crap music can ruin a painting.<br /><br />So, following this line of thought, the formula's the answer. John Lennon had the formula. Babe Ruth had the formula. I just need to get the formula.<br /><br />But that's not it either. IF there was a formula, it would compromise the discovery and growth, and the whole process would become mundane. That's when a creative process becomes a factory product.<br /><br />It's a juggling act. If it was all struggle, I'd give up and go get an office job. If it was all ease, well, then I'd get bored and go get an office job.Tracy Burkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776269683774035883noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7764374091109585927.post-60924920609994115472010-11-07T09:37:00.003-05:002010-11-07T10:20:18.765-05:00New Innovation (Let the Bad Times Roll)Not trying to paint rosy (that wasn't a painting pun) the recession and bad economy, and I'm certainly not a 'silver lining' kinda gal. But where did all these cupcake places come from?<br /><br />Lots of them. And they're all up'ing the bar. GREAT cupcakes. I didn't see a cupcake 'specialty shop' 5 yrs ago.<br /><br />The 'cupcake phenomena' isn't an isolated incident. It's a larger trend of people getting creative and coming up with great ideas to keep things in forward motion despite our economy standing still.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">These are the people <span style="font-style: italic;">causing</span> innovative positive change, not waiting for *things* to change.</span><br /><br />Here in Orlando, we have great alternative art spaces thanks to curators who show art, no matter what. Frankie Messina, Michael McGrath, Steve Parker, Tre Harris --they MAKE successful art shows- with or without a gallery. Charity benefits and auctions in empty real estate open houses, craft fairs in parking lots.. so why would someone with a long-standing radio career rely on the radio to continue to do what they do best? <a href="http://www.blip.tv/file/4347680">They wouldn't. </a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.thejbwebbshow.blogspot.com">JB WeBB</a> is the newest innovator we've been fortunate enough to work with. Thanks to creative people like him, we all continue to move forward.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thejbwebbshow.blogspot.com/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Zg0VZbMyBxE/TNbDTgOefVI/AAAAAAAAAMc/8_OELjWnqFs/s320/on+the+air.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536827531734187346" border="0" /></a><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-26.png" alt="" />Tracy Burkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776269683774035883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7764374091109585927.post-7893507449452550082010-10-03T17:45:00.004-04:002010-10-03T18:02:41.818-04:00Wine, Art, & Amway series painting auctionThe Amway Center's hectic running came to a close with the Grand Opening and festivities.<br /><br />Several of my pieces from the Amway series are now on display and for sale at <a href="http://www.orlandotastings.com/">Tastings Wine Bar</a> in downtown Orlando, and one painting is being silent auctioned throughout the month of October to benefit the North/Central Florida Alzheimer's Association.<br /><br />If you haven't been to <a href="http://www.orlandotastings.com/">Tastings</a>, they have an *incredible* selection of great wine, and a beautiful atmosphere, outdoor balcony with a view of Lake Eola, and great appetizer's as well. I couldn't say that without sampling first, of course.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Zg0VZbMyBxE/TKj9FJUixnI/AAAAAAAAAMU/xcRhhJksQTI/s1600/IMG_2027a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Zg0VZbMyBxE/TKj9FJUixnI/AAAAAAAAAMU/xcRhhJksQTI/s320/IMG_2027a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523943207813170802" border="0" /></a><br />Visit their website: <a href="http://www.orlandotastings.com/">www.orlandotastings.com</a> for Happy Hour details, specials, and a menu preview.

(Yay!)<br /><br />That being behind me, I can shift gears and focus on several up-coming shows: Next in line is this Saturday night --I'll be live painting at Tastings downtown on the corner of Washington and Magnolia-- it'll be visible from the street, and the venue has a nice crowd-- along with some great wines!!<br /><br />We were there recently and had a great recommendation from the server. --not a "this has been around a while and we can't sell it-- I think you'll like it" recommendation but a *REAL* "based on your preferences, I think you'd enjoy this" recommendation, and he was ace-on. So we found a new place to actually discover new wines without the guess work.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Zg0VZbMyBxE/TFmkqi3NdeI/AAAAAAAAAME/WGmVREVA-9g/s1600/tastings.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Zg0VZbMyBxE/TFmkqi3NdeI/AAAAAAAAAME/WGmVREVA-9g/s320/tastings.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501609470629606882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'll be showing a couple of my new abstracts from the Magic series as well.
