Blue People Dolls new and revisited...

  Some of you will remember the story of the "Blue People of Troublesome Creek" I blogged about in 2010. They were the inspiration for a few paintings and dolls. I have painted and made a few dolls along the way. But as usual inspiration took me along another path and I had put the Blue People on the back burner.  A follower asked me about them so I decided to repost some of the past picks and new ones of some I have in the works, I keep meaning to get back to them with gusto but inevitably something else pulls at me.

Pentecostal Preacher, The chicken raiser and Ruby....

 I will at sometime make more because they are such a part of me. But for now they just sit and watch me do other things. Maybe they will start to speak louder and get my undivided attention soon.

He or she? only time will tell.

New on my work table.

• Well lets see where this goes..........

Not what I intended. Do other artist have this issue?

Say hello to "Ruby" I thought I would never finish her. I could not get a handle on where she was going. Funny thing is she did not go in the direction I had intended. Funny how dolls evolve on thier own. At least they do for me. No matter what my best laid plans for them are they come up with thier own itentity. I see one thing in my mind they show up as someone else. Sometimes that drives me crazy and sometimes Im pleasanly surprised.
 Do any other of you artist have this issue. Do you see it as a hinderance or more of a natural evolution in your work.
  I have wanted to recreate some of my work, especially doll faces I thought came out well. Not in a million years can I do it. I feel like a snowflake. I can never make 2 things look the same.

  Oh Well let me know how you feel and have a great day with art.
