A cold June evening, rained on and off most of the day. Chilled to the bones and solving that with some hot tea and reading blogs. Went out with my daughter and friends this afternoon in celebration of Harvard Milk Days. I really need to get out more, I feel invigorated. But it is late and need to keep my promise not to work in the evenings unless under a deadline. I have accepted a challenge to create a 2-4 min animation....I came up with an idea, researched it and am now ready to design characters and dialogue, music being rewritten. I caught the bug and was up to the wee hours in the morning which took a toll on my body. Not willing to do that again. Hence not working late rule. In The Old Curt House Arts Center Garden show, the bottle, pears, Conch shell, and yellow tulips are it the show. running now thru July. Will post pictures soon. Wishing you Peace, Health, and Happiness mb

Destroying substandard work is not only good for the heirs, it's good for the artist: nothing worse than mediocrity in sight. Burning, while illegal in some jurisdictions, is best. I do it quietly on cold, sentimental nights as a ceremony of sacrifice in the fireplace. Further, a quick note in the will, "Destroy all unsigned art," saves everybody a lot of trouble and anguish. Remember, it's always nicer to enjoy a few brilliant friends than to endure a crowd of dullards." Robert Glenn A question was posed to Robert about Grandfathers art work after he passed. As I age I ponder this question my self,famous or not, one should have written instructions for their art work as to how it will be handled upon death.After all the time,education,money love and tears, I wish not to be on the curb in a garage ...
A beautiful night, the temperature hit the mid 80s and Sunny Opened all the windows and was inspired to clean yes, clean......not in my vocabulary recently. Have a surprise guest for the weekend, my nephew. It has been good visiting with him. And my daughter is joining us for part of the weekend. I started this blog with intentions of having my family and friends see what I work on and how, thought that blogging would help my work. I still love my animation, would like to try sculpture because I believe that it will be helpful to me in other aspects of my work. I have been looking at blogs from other artists and thinking maybe I should be more discriminating about what I put on my blog. Enjoy my work MaryBeth J Bellon or Mary Beth Bellon, or Marybeth Bellon by which I'm listed in IMDb for the Tiny Toons Christmas special.

I have been working in charcoal for the past month at open draw with the intention of sharpening my skills. I will then compare them to some older drawing to see if any progress has been made, and what areas I may want to concentrate on. Almost finished with my Conch shell painting.

It has grown to 5 feet...think I have to many paints! lol , this chart will help me narrow down now my paint selection to help save money and time. Thank You for visiting Have a wonderful rest of your day or night may you be safe, healthy and Peaceful Peace and Love mb
