'Yipeee! I'm Published - again!'

by Mary Lou 'LuLu' Haynes

Howdy and Welcome,

It's with great pleasure that I announce publication of another of my original poems in the Fall 2010 issue of the 'BAC Street Journal' - which is published by the Beverly Arts Center (BAC) in Chicago, IL! This is the third time my work has been published in the BAC Street Journal. They have previously published both my poetry and my photography! I am so thrilled to be included in this book again.

My poem 'Beneath the Gray Dome' is being published in the BAC Street Journal which will be available at an artist's reception, issue launch and open reading to be held this Sun., Dec. 5, at the BAC!

Woohoo!

Thanks for stopping by - and please come back to visit again soon!

Peace,
LuLu

'Tonight' poem excerpt

Howdy and Welcome!

Here are closeups from some pages from my 'Art Journal #2 Never Give Up - Never Surrender!'.

Enjoy!

Closeups of pages from Art Journal #2 -

 'Never Give Up - Never surrender!'

The italics calligraphy text is an excerpt from 'Tonight', one of my original published poems.

Ingredients: each page of sketch paper covered in 2"wide masking tape both sides, white gesso, tinted gessos, various paints, mediums, techniques, watercolor, acrylic, pens, mesh tape (from hardware store), inks, ZIG calligrapy marker, gel pens, glitter, 14k gold paint.

What do you think of thses closeups? I love the abract quality of these pages. I specifically tried to turn off the analytical side of my brain and let the artwork create it self with little thought or design.

What do you think of the textures, and various layers peeking in and out?

The title of this journal 'Never give up, never surrender!' is a motto from the sci-fi movie 'GALAXY QUEST' with Tim Allen!

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment if you have a moment or 2 - and visit again soon!

Peace,

LuLu
