My Studio

A L O H A !

Pua Hone by The Brothers Cazimero on Grooveshark


























I have the creativity of a magpie

many things catch my eye,
I'm forever clipping something,
making notes on the move,
or finding:
objects, ideas,
cast-offs,
stones.

This is why I long existed
in a "disorderly" nest of cool stuff.

 But I have kept our new apartment 
rather "Hotel Like."
The spaciousness
(especially after living in the confines of a boat)
is a pure pleasure.
  Freshly painted walls have no nails, hooks,
or hanging art.
(Just look at how my words
"hang out"
sprawling themselves
about 
in unlimited
cyberspace.

Instead of  etagere
crammed with oddities,
and toys,
one, or two jade pieces
overlook the new regime
of serenity
unobtrusively.
I think they like the space too.


So where are my piles of clippings,
blog ideas, crazy schemes, found objects?


Have I changed my style?
Not at ALL!

You should see my photo files!

My Blogger Dashboard
of half-made posts! 

The files in files
on my "desktop!"

Isn't the web a wonderful place?
Where a slob-artist can keep
the requisite
"heap' O materials.

Where an anti-social type
can hold forth on poetry
or political screeds
and find like-minded
associates.


Thank YOU
so much for being a part of it!

                                      Warmly, cloudia

In that last paragraph I thought for a minute I read "like minded assholes" then saw it was "associates." Then I realized it wasn't me you were referring to sista' hahahahahaaha

Lynn said...

Love the look the wee masked marauder is giving his sister. :)

RONW said...

sounds all normal to me. I give you a year on land and stuff will be so crammed up that you'll won't be able to shut the front door.

Love having a studio...and what comes out of yours is pure magic.

Claudia, living in cramped quarters at one time, does let you appreciate space...it gets worse (better in my eyes) as you age!...:)JP

Friko said...

You're welcome!

Anti-social type? Really?

Jeannie said...

Ha - I'll always be a bit of a slob. I think the confines of the boat trained you to be neater than you think.

I'm just loving how you're loving your new space Cloudia! Your first image is just how I think of you up there in your 'eerie' in the sky!! I agree that it does make you feel a lot 'lighter' in spirit and reality if you can somehow declutter your environment, it's just not always easy to let some things go!

Aw, make some struggling artists happy and buy their art for your walls!!!

Betty Manousos said...

the first sot looks heavenly!

i'd like to have a studio like yours.

anti-social type? really?

my warmest alohaaaa!!

Teresa said...

Amazing pictures!!! I love the plant on your lanai.

Charles Gramlich said...

Absolutely, although I must confess to needing to be a bit more 'hands on' with my stuff.

Myrna R. said...

Well, my house is not "hotel like", (I've live here almost 12 years), but I can sure relate to you about cyber clutter.

Keep doing what you do. It works.

Hilary said...

That first image is just stunning and looks almost ethereal. At first I thought it was a plant cutting sitting in a little pyramid-shaped vase, balancing precariously on a pole. When my brain decided that didn't make sense, I realized it was a little pouch hanging from the plant. So now, I wonder what it is and why it's on the plant?

New spaces to explore our physical well-being, to encourage our exploration of selves. Finding the comfortableness of our lives.

A beautiful space, indeed.

I love them, all three are superb.

Kay said...

I'm trying hard to keep our house clutter free, but it's an ongoing battle.

Have a happy, happy weekend, Cloudia!

Sandy said...

anti-social and creativeness seem to fall into the same category a lot. A woman after my own heart....and lived on a boat!! Your view from your place is totally awesome! =)

Windsmoke. said...

A slob artist that's me bits and pieces everywhere and then some :-).

Cloudia said...

thanks SO much for visiting today!


BTW, the little pouch in the first pic is full of good luck!

You seem to feel and live the pulse of the world. Impressed.


Please have you all a good Sunday.

Your studio is a joy. Thanks.

Joanna Jenkins said...

Aww, that sweet boy in the mask :-)

I love your collection of photos and poetry and quotes... and everything.

The mom with the two children and each in his/her own little world but clearly together--that is what your art is about. These are fun.

Dave King said...

Well it may be many things that catch your eye, but they are all little gems so far. Keep clicking!

Thank YOU!
