Just sitting down with some pens to see what happens. I love stripes and checkered patterns, stars, deer, and birds. Lately I love red and white stripes and blue (nothing politically inspired, I assure you). I think more of the circus, of shabby chic, of the marriage of patterns, like a human body with the marriage of organs - all working together, feeding off of each other to thrive.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have an affinity for nutcrackers, every holiday season adding more to my growing collection. Year round they are displayed as I see them more as a Wise Council than merely holiday decorations. Last year I came across white nutcrackers and am now in the process of turning them into works of art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not sure if I'll be able to part with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first one, <i>Time and Again</i>, will be on display at MOWA, the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, WI from Nov 19, 2016 - Jan 8, 2017.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Time and Again</i> is about movement and the crossing of thresholds. The window acts as a threshold between the inside and outside worlds. Tools guide us to a different destination - the compass points us while the ladder supports us as we journey upwards or downwards.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boxes hold our belongings when we move across the country, food we purchase at the grocery store, and gifts we give one another. The idea of a box holding personal secrets, wishes and dreams is often called a God Box. It is a vessel that takes your worries and hands them off to 'all that is', perhaps the great Oz himself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My tools included pen, cotton swabs, coffee and a 6.5"x 8"x 3" box. The images are mystical animals pursuing magic, weaving their webs of life. They are intuition, the all knowing, the all seeing, all that is. They reside in silence, in less words and more observation, in solitude and introspection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This box now resides in Brooklyn. A gift. There will be more, in time.</div>

I prefer to sit down at the easel and bring out whatever image is already 'there' in the board. Maddening, yes. I like the challenge of creating something meaningful out of happenstance. Isn't that what life is all about? When I drip coffee onto paper and move it around, I haven't the faintest clue what will appear. There's a bit of anxiety in it all. There's a bit of expectation. What if I draw a line that goes nowhere and I regret it? Make it happen. Figure it out. Turn it into something else.<br />
<br />
Such is the story for these creatures below. Each one represents a facet of my creaturehood. Each one appeared when I followed the pen. I have been posting drawings daily on my Instagram. Follow to see each one. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lisaalbinger/" target="_blank">Lisa Albinger on Instagram</a><br />

The espresso was made, waiting patiently as I picked out
that perfect piece of chocolate from the gifted box of chocolates. I would sit
down with my delicacy to ponder the direction of my art, obtain a grand
artistic idea, and drink the espresso while it was hot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
But the phone rang.<o:p></o:p></div>

“Oh shit!” I exclaimed as I saw the name of my dear friend
of 20 years. An artist. I knew why she was calling and I had to fess up. I
answered with, “I didn’t do it, I didn’t do anything, I failed.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A week ago we agreed to hold each other accountable of
making art every day. By today I was to have 7 drawings completed, alas there
were none. Now, the assignment for this following week is to create a self-portrait
every day. Size and medium doesn’t matter. I know as the days progress my self-portraits
will morph into animals and the like, however today I started out with a pretty
standard drawing including polka dots which I adore.<o:p></o:p></div>

Looking at my face in the mirror and drawing it brought back
memories. I remembered back to when a band member of Poison gasped, “You have a
beautiful widows peak” which is something I had never heard or thought of
before. Being a big fan of Marilyn Monroe as a teenager I always wanted a mole
above my lip and now as an adult I’ve somehow acquired one in that same spot,
however with less enthusiasm than a 15 year old. And to my surprise, my lower
lip has an indentation I’ve never noticed before.<o:p></o:p></div>

Your body tells so many stories. Look at yourself in the
mirror and read some of them. Remember the stories of your past as they make up
the you you are now. What is your body telling you? What information and
messages does it have for you?<o:p></o:p></div>

Apparently my German heritage runs far deeper than enjoying German cuisine. I have a thing for traditional wooden nutcrackers - not the ones dressed as ballerinas and football players. At holiday time I get lost in the sea of nutcrackers at the store. Yesterday I ventured out to get batteries and left with the nutcracker you see on the right. I will keep my nutcrackers on display all year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why my fascination?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To me, nutcrackers represent strength, sophistication, and protection. They stand for individuality. They are stoic, classic, and regal. They are fundamentally what my work is about. My intention is to create strong characters that inspire the viewer to be better in their lives - better to themselves and other people, open their minds, and stretch their spiritual muscle. Self-mastery.</div>

Would my paintings recycle if they could? Yes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would my paintings say hello to people on the street and strike up a conversation? Yes</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would my paintings watch tv and read People magazine and such? Goodness no</div>

Look at any photo of Katharine Hepburn. Read her<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Me-Stories-Life-Katharine-Hepburn/dp/0345410092/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1418916012&sr=1-1&keywords=katharine+hepburn&pebp=1418916018083" target="_blank"> book</a>. Fascinating.</div>

Yesterday I told a friend I could see myself having a room full of nutcrackers. Then this morning I saw <a href="http://www.kptv.com/story/24258258/local-woman-transforms-home-into-massive-nutcracker-suite" target="_blank">this video</a>. Apparently, I'm not the only one.</div>

I eat a lot of fruit. It is typical for me to have 5-7 servings a day. This particular Friday I sat in front of the board eating a brown pear, trying to conjure up a great image, asking the painting what it wanted to express. Which variety of pear it was, I'm unsure. A Google search provided no definite answer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time I chose to forego my pear-honey-brie concoction and instead ate the pear in it's naked state. I have a habit to buy one new produce food a week in order to experience something different and was excited to try this pear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But oh it was so bland. I sat in front of my new piece with the pear wondering </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>How can this be?! </i>Pear dreams shattered. Layer upon layer began to build over the following weeks as more and more fruit was devoured. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pear-Honey-Brie speaks of trusting and working with one's own body cycle and shape. It's about forging ahead through cranky days and making the best of every situation.</div>

True Story. This is part of the<i> Intestinal </i>series, however I've diverted onto a second path due to the spoken words of an author who made me cringe. A lesson of growth for sure, and ironically the inspiration of my current work. Meant to be? Of course.</div>

The end of July brought an unexpected meeting with singer Tori Amos (on the right). We've met a number of times over the years but this was the first time we were photographed together.</div>

In 2008 I posed as her for artist Mike Dringenberg for Tori's annual RAINN benefit calendar. </div>

On this day she took home some of my greeting cards: Shortbread Serenade, The Heatmeister, Tea for Two, and Set the World Right. Inquire for card availability.</div>

Once upon a time I was able to eat and digest rice, or so I thought. New habits have been implemented now that I can no longer eat any grains. Metaphorical tears stream down my face.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a feeling I can paint about this topic forever.</div>

To the moon? Not quite. But over it? Sure. <br />
<br />
<strong>I came to Phoenix with</strong> a feeling that the desert would expose me to a deeper awareness of myself and the world. And it has.<br />
<br />
<strong>I make art because</strong> it's how I'm able to articulate my language. If I wasn't an artist I'd probably be mute.<br />
<br />
<strong>I'm most productive when</strong> I get out of my way, follow my intuition, and just paint whatever comes up. I'm least productive if I plan it all out.<br />
<br />
<strong>My inspiration wall is full of</strong> magazine photos of women in elaborate attire, a postcard of Degas' <em>The Absinthe Drinker</em> because that image has mesmerized me since college, and a photo of Frank Lloyd Wright.<br />
<br />
<strong>I've learned most from</strong> my dog, honestly. Every day I fail a lesson and need to start over.<br />
<br />
<strong>Good work should always </strong>open peoples minds. Good work should teach. It should make people think and feel. And it should always come from the gut.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Phoenix creative scene could use more</strong> professionalism and art collectors. Our modern society needs to breed humans who understand the importance of collecting original art. It has nothing to do with money. If you want something enough, you'll find a way to get it, whether it's a hamburger or a Mercedes. The internet is visually overloaded and 'liking' an image has replaced committing to purchasing an original piece. A print will never hold the power and intensity of an original. Ever. I own original work of other artists and my goodness, it excites me. I don't have my own work up in my home, but the work of other artists and that means the world to me.</div>

This video represents 2 hours of painting. I can't believe I sat in one place for that long. The chocolate was within reach, but you can't see it in the video. Tricky! This is the first time I created an animal wearing a human mask instead of the other way around. A porcelain doll face came to mind. Is the animal trying to be more human like? Do we expect them to be? </div>

This is a very short time lapse video of me painting. I use pencil, a paintbrush and a number of cotton swabs.<br />

I could never quite understand hunting, even though I had hunters in my family and grew up in Wisconsin. The case that hunting controls overpopulation is one I listen to however there's certainly an overpopulation of people in America, so why don't we shoot them as well? I'll leave it at that.<br />

Thank you to all those who made opening weekend such a success. Paintings and drawings sold and everyone loved the Louis CK series. Of course I didn't think to take photos during the evening, but here is a photo of my latest, 'Confessions of a Mechanical Man' which references the nearly 4 years I spent wearing a scoliosis back brace during my adolescence. </div>

I intended to paint a bee with a man's head and didn't expect Louis C.K. to appear. The face began to resemble him so I just went with it. Simple and subtle. No extra fluff needed. Just like Louis. 9x12 inches, oil and collage on board
After some thought I've decided to expand on this peculiar theme. Look for Louis C.K. as a variety of animals in the near future.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11364720164230542794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394212972800535445.post-13183209375732456592013-12-16T14:56:00.001-08:002014-01-03T10:38:46.591-08:00Jesus, the Mouse, and the Mission<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-8C7XV5_h6wmLFco4ORPL-i2VnpSD3cIYOSELQ_gQP9cSoGWhtg0-kRBMEpGyMWRjjmr9JlbqFzaekus-yt1RYdgKSK7GchsAi8MOxJGG01rjda_1UGO6yGKIpzijrL14h0lcd5iy7w/s1600/Jesus+R+Pela+show.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn-8C7XV5_h6wmLFco4ORPL-i2VnpSD3cIYOSELQ_gQP9cSoGWhtg0-kRBMEpGyMWRjjmr9JlbqFzaekus-yt1RYdgKSK7GchsAi8MOxJGG01rjda_1UGO6yGKIpzijrL14h0lcd5iy7w/s320/Jesus+R+Pela+show.jpg" /></a></div>

Friday, December 6th marked the opening of 'Jesus! A December Celebration of the Christ' at R. Pela Gallery in Phoenix, AZ. With a juried show that included Arizona art notables and members of the clergy, I was told that a nun explained the significant meanings in my piece to the other jurors and touched on the mouse... When told this I was stunned as even I don't know what the mouse means. While painting I knew I had to put something in Jesus' hand and a voice kept saying, "A mouse, put a mouse." So I did.<p>
<p>
At the very tail end (no pun intended) of the show, a gentleman approached me and pointed to my piece asking if he could tell me about it. People often do this and I'm open to hear interpretations. I obliged and we meandered to my piece where he asked, "Do you know what the mouse means?" I chuckled. When I told him that intuition guided me to simply paint a mouse he explained that on the facade of the Mission San Xavier del Bac just south of Tucson, AZ there is a cat on the right side chasing a mouse on the left. Indian legend says that if the cat ever catches the mouse it means the end of the world.<p>
<p>
Now I don't expect a concrete form to move and catch another, but after seeing Doctor Who and the weeping angels, perhaps anything is possible. I froze, looked at the man and again at the mouse I precariously hung from Jesus' hand. On that note the evening ended and I was once again reminded why I love doing what I do.<p>

I'm currently working on a piece for Modified Arts Gallery of an elk with a human eye - as though the human is wearing a mask. This is a recurring theme in my work - the idea of wearing a mask and taking on its persona. I thought to myself, 'Where did this come from? What was the first painting?' and I laughed when I remembered...<p>
<p>
I can thank my mutant chihuahua, Lucky G, for the inspiration as one night two years ago he heard a noise out in the yard and went to investigate. In the desert in the pitch dark there's no telling what's outside. It could've been a javelina or coyote. Moments after he bolted outside I heard a scuffle and him yelping. Next thing I knew he scurried inside reeking of skunk along with a newly brandished large bleeding gash behind his ear. The wound healed in time. The smell however.. well, it took 6 months to completely get it out of his long hair.<p>
<p>
I decided to commemorate the skunk's victory by depicting him as a Lucha Libre wrestler with my dog's blood on his nails and a halo above his head. I laugh every time I see this painting.

Hot of the easel, here is a detailed photo of The Heatmeister. It all started with The Sopranos, when someone called Tony 'the grillmeister'. My ears perked up and the light bulb above my head turned on. This will be a three part series of 12x12 inch mixed media paintings. 'The Grillmeister', 'The Heatmeister' and I believe the last will be 'The Toastmeister'. Can you make the correlation between the tip of the tongue and the heart? Then you will understand 'The Heatmeister'. Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11364720164230542794noreply@blogger.com
