I hope everyone has a great Labour Day weekend! We will be exploring the Cabot Trail here in Nova Scotia so I hope to get some great photos. As promised, here is the finished "Wonky Houses" Advent Calendar wall hanging I made for my granddaughter who lives in Chicago. I waited until I got to Chicago to finish the piece with her. She had fun with all the buttons and then showed me where to sew them. We have a video of that so she can see us working on it when she's a big girl. One thing I forgot to do was put gold lame behind the candles on the tree. Guess it won't get done this year. Maybe sometime in the future but it really doesn't matter, she likes it as it is! Enjoy!

Judy Drew - Young Woman in a Cloche Hat
'catching up' (by Judy Scott)

Judy Drew🎨 is an Australian painter. Her passion for the Post-Impressionism period and the influence of Japanese art in the late 1880's, along with her creative sense of colour and form, allow Judy to create beautiful and modern work, even though Judy's work is contemporary she retains a touch of sentiment in all her pieces.
After the quilting was finished, I marked out the finished size: 24" x 60", sewed a tight straight stitch just inside the marked line, then trimmed it to size. To finish the edge, I chose 3 different cords that picked up the colors in the quilt and used them to make a couched twisted cord binding. DETAILS

I feel awe every day when I look out at the sun glittering on the water and every night when the moon does the same thing. I live in a lonely beauty. Manitou means God. Manitoulin Island is Spirit Island, and this spiritual place is embedded in my stitched art. This work also is based on the ideas of destruction and reparation and more softness. honesty. More humility. Life changes in an ordinary instant. We bleed. My work is done in a rush of slow. It gives me self-healing. I hope that it communicates something to the inner inner of my viewers. This piece arrived for me without too much thinking, in a rush, It came out of an almost erotic inner dreamworld very sensuous and intuitive, and then my hands touched and touched it. I stitched and stitched through the spring throughout the summer and now it is September and all the while i knew it was art and yet it was also something else. A healing cloth. I felt myself becoming whole. inner symbols cosmic circle-heart almost a mandala My work holds the whirl of each day the rush of time the emotions of life I'm just doing the best I can.

This is one of those years where I find myself casting about for a root to hold on to. I got so far behind when I left country for a month and now in 2 weeks I go again. My journal is the thread that holds me here. And the online class that I just taught which was such a joy. I had to be completely present for that. I made this little book to take to Spain, thinking I could work small in it. Little sketches. Little collages. To see if I could say it without words. And then I couldn't resist beginning to work in it. At this rate I'll have it filled before I leave. If that happens I'll have to make another book. I have so much to say. I'm trying to figure out what to take to Spain. I've decided on paper, paint, wax, maybe plaster. Well, I can get the plaster there. And I bought a new suitcase. If it's big enough. We'll see. I'm using lots of tea bags in this book. Every morning I pull out my little book and a new idea pops into my head. Scissors. Glue stick. Tape. Go. It's just for me. For my enjoyment. I teach others not to work for approval and then I find myself working for approval. Well, not this time. My safe boat. Have I ever told you about my protective bubble? I can do that when I'm afraid. Cast a protective bubble over myself and hunker down. In the bottom of the boat. Hanging on the lip of the mystery. In other news John got some good test results from his doctor. Since going on a vegan diet his cholesterol has dropped from 278 to 182. The LDL (lousy part) from 188 to 123. And Triglicerides from 249 to 98. That takes him from stroke and heart attack country to a safer place altogether. It amazes me that doctors put you right on statin drugs without telling you that changing your diet can achieve the same results and save you a lot of money. Plus John's lost about 25 lbs. So the only down side is that you have to buy smaller clothes. I did that this week too. Big Announcement!!!!! I'll be traveling to Wilmington, North Carolina this fall to teach a journaling class in the studio of Kim Beller of Big Strong Girl Designs. I'm super excited about this class for several reasons. First of all, it's going to be fabulous; one or two days as you choose and in a beautiful studio where we can share time and space with each other in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Secondly, because John is coming with me and thirdly because I've never had the opportunity of teaching or even visiting the southern part of the country and it's been on my bucket list forever. Please please please come and join us for what promises to be a really great experience. Here is a link to all the information. Kim and I have had our heads together and we are going to make this really fun for you. Now for a quick trip through the garden. We have sugar peas ... Varieties of pepper ... Varieties of tomatoes ... and tulips and plum blossoms! The season turns again to new beginnings and baby lambs; hope and faith is renewed and the earth is green and new. I hope you feel in good spirits whether you are experiencing spring or fall; the circle of the seasons is one of the enduring blessings and mysteries of life. Get out and breathe it all in. ((hug))

Checking in before checking out again. On Monday I'm off along with Katie to San Miguel de Allende for 23 days on a pilgrimage in paint with two wonderful groups of artists. The last item on my checklist is to show up here and share my latest. Some time in August I decided to start a series of abstract painting studies. Because my studio is littered with papers, canvases, and general disorganizatiion, I decided to do the studies in my journal where they wouldn't get lost or tossed. And since these studies take me as long to do as a full sized painting (and for some reason are even more challenging) I've also cut back on the collage for awhile. So that each page resembles the spread in the first image. An abstract painting on the right side and morning pages on the left. I really let myself wander in these studies so they go from the okay to the very strange. It takes guts to leap into the chaos. That's how I'm thinking of them. My chaos paintings. I've been reluctant to share them. They are still talking to me; telling me things in their own language. But I finally decided it was time to share. To tell you of my great happiness of painting without any pressure to "succeed". Just letting the paint be paint and enjoying that. As I look back at these paintings they appear effortless, as if I could dash off several a day. Probably some people could. But not me. I spend a lot of time painting over and experimenting. Often by the time I quit the paper can't take any more scrubbing and gouging. I like to explore. I'm hoping by the time I've done many dozens that I will have learned new things. A direction or a message. They do seem like messages to me and sometimes I sit with them and have a dialogue. Perhaps this works only with our own paintings. Have you thought about this too? Does it matter if they speak to others as long as they speak to us? Is the work over when the painting is done or are there other things waiting to happen between the viewer and the object? And what are we to make of our own paintings? What or who are they for? To sit quietly in a book on my shelf or to fetch a buyer in Santa Fe? Does it matter what my goals are and is there a difference? The more art I look at the more there is to think about. Paint and think. Think and paint. Keep searching. For that elusive thing. That's always beyond one's reach. But such a delicious search. Such a complete obsession. It's got me good. I'll be back in November with a full report of our Mexico adventure. We will be 26 explorers plus Rebecca Brooks, Katie and myself. There will be eating and drinking and painting - oh my!! Hasta la vista.
So you want to paint bigger? This is what you need in order to succeed. I cover the tools and studio requirements and also what you need to be thinking about throughout the process of your painting. What are the stages your painting will go through and what is your focus at each stage?

udy Drew is one of Australia's most talented and exciting female artists, having a loyal and devoted following with a history of opening night sell out exhibitions. Drew's images are infused with an impressionist sensibility towards colour and form and being a colourist work's her medium of pastel to new limits. Drew's paintings speak for themselves.
