two new paintings

Purple Seed Hopes to Grow Up to be a Martini

12" x 12", acrylic ink on canvas, note the pearl inks follow the light.



Purple Seed Hopes to Grow Up to be a pair of Motorcycle Boots

12" x 12", acrylic ink on canvas, note the pearl inks follow the light.



And the two of them together (please note that colour is totally off...
that is a cream coloured carpet, believe it or not...
(see photo of 3 Seeds in the gallery at cynthiagould.com for slightly more accurate colour)



how does $150 for the pair sound?

cool shows this week!

SUNDAY - WordJam is always a blast - Poetry & Music Fusion.
info at: CLICK

MONDAY - Scream In High Park! the yearly literary extravaganza - finally featuring Canada's greatest poet & performer Shane Koyczan
info at: thescream.ca

TUESDAY - Koyczan vs. The World (ie. all of the Toronto Slam Poets) He hasn't slammed in 3 years, so he's out to kick everyone's ass. :)
info at: torontopoetryslam.com

also, please mark Tuesday August 28th in your dayplanner. you are attending a show at 8pm. you cannot miss it. you will be informed soon. muah ha haaaaa

are you watching some of the Live Earth coverage today? if so, please put your actions where your interest is - do something good for the earth today! flush the toilet a few less times, use a rag instead of a paper towel, turn off the water when brushing your teeth, check the list of what's recycleable in your area, take a quicker shower, wash your laundry in cold, walk instead of taking the car, bring your own bag to the market... just a few wee things.

it's easy to get overwhelmed and not see these things as making a difference. it's easy to get super busy and forget the little things. but making some of the little things into habits is where we start. it doesn't have to be "rocket surgery". :)

refreshing!

i've rejigged some things on my main site (cynthiagould.com) so that people are directed here for their blogging entertainment.

i'm trying to improve my memory, so i'll be blogging more here to file wonderful weblinks, ideas, and connections for easy reference.

have just come across an advertising opportunity in a wonderful toronto magazine - small colour display ad for $300. i don't have the money right now, but since i'm not spending money on art shows or other promo this summer, it might be a good idea. any thoughts?
