After sending off the new updates to the website this week and getting some painting done on the third of the 10 paintings needed for the video, today was a day of catching up on the Arts scene in Ohio. Just a little reserach for future planning.
The work on the third painting is a bit frustrating right now, but it will come..it the all important drawing stage. If the drawing isn't right it will consistently pull the eye to the wrong things in the paintings---and yes I'm a perfectionist. I want the viewers eye to be drawn into the painting the I want them to be, not because I have a drawing flaw in the painting. So, it will be corrected and I'll get it right yet!!!
The feature story that was done on my work is posted at www.middletownnow.com
There will also be another story coming out in the Middletown Journal soon as well.
The wonderful world of a massage awaits me this afternoon and I'm looking forward to it. After that I go to the arts center and work on the painting that is being displayed on my website in the Works in Progress page. It should be a beautiful painting of Monet's Giverny Gardens. This is being painted from a beautiful photograph that was taken of the lake, the Japanese Bridge and a pathway to the bridge appearing in the lower right hand corner.
Other than that, just painting, painting and more painting...Who knew life could be so much fun!
Peace to all!

It's a Beautiful Day
It's been a busy time lately and sometimes I wonder where the time goes!
Lots of media news to update you on. I believe I mentioned that I had an interview with a journalist who works on a electronic magazine for the area that I live in. The interview went very well, although a few quotes I wish I could have changed for clarity, but that's the way it works for now. The article can be seen at www.middletownnow.com, scroll down to the feature story--"Linda Fisler takes a chance on art" is the title.
Sunday was a fun day! I got to play at being a DJ on WTUE FM which originates out of Dayton. At first I was a bit nervous--but Ann Stevens was great and within a few minutes I settled down and just decided to have fun. I played my "top ten Beatles Songs" which had a lot of George Harrison's music in it. What can I say--I love the guitar and George's spirit. I know that I could take some lessons about living in the moment from him! So, on Sunday I played the ten songs, gave the weather report and read some "liners" as they are called in the industry. The whole thing lasted a little over an hour. I don't think I'll make DJ my next career choice, but it was something I always wanted to do. I have a tape of the show, which I haven't listened to as yet--I can't stand listening to my recorded voice!! But as Ann says--that's why radio is live! Well in the Breakfast with the Beatles show anyway! I think the funniest thing that happened while I was DJing was a person calling in to request a song. This guy certainly didn't get that it was "Breakfast with the Beatles". So we answer the phone and we get.."Can you play Freebird by Lynard Skynard?" "Uhhh...no." LOL! The second best call was from someone who didn't know the name of the song and tried singing it for us....but---he didn't know the words or the melody...."really---it goes something like this....." !! Needless to say, we had no idea and couldn't really help him.
I've spent the last couple days painting. Two down only about 8 more to paint. The third painting is under way. Started it yesterday afternoon. The first two paintings for the video project are really nice paintings. They are as diverse as you can get in subject matter I think, so it was interesting painting those back to back. I'll probably not be posting these on the site, I rather like the idea on having never before seen paintings in the video--and it give you a reason to look and listen to the video.
Artistic Harmonies is this Friday and I'll be busy with that over the next few days. Then some plein air painting on Saturday at Ceasar's Creek. Artistic Harmonies picked up a couple new artists this month. We should have about 10 artist showing this Friday. Check out the Artistic Harmonies part of my site (www.lindafisler.com/artisticharmonies) for information and directions. Appetizers and drinks will be provided and folks seem to enjoy looking at the art and talking with the artists.
There was another interview yesterday for the video project as well. When that article is available I'll pop on and give you the link. Everyone is anxious to get started on the project, so I need to head back down to the studio now and get the third painting done!
Peace to all,
Linda
