Art and war

Posted on July 17, 2009 by Victoria

Two films that were made with war as unusual backdrops for their narratives were Joseph Losey’s 1948 ‘Boy with Green Hair’, and ten years later, an adaptation of Joyce Cary’s 1944 book, ‘The Horse’s Mouth’. I first saw ‘The Boy with Green Hair’ … Continue reading →

June gardens

Posted on July 4, 2009 by Victoria

The gardens are thriving with all the rain we had this spring and early summer. It’s also been temperate for this time of year, dropping into the 60’s at night. Very few pests and I attribute that to my swaths … Continue reading →

June paintings

Posted on June 27, 2009 by Victoria

New small paintings from the last couple of weeks. I made the panels myself by cutting up masonite and attaching the canvas. I much prefer this type of panel over the versions I’d been using, simply because they’re a little … Continue reading →

Drawings and berry season

Posted on June 6, 2009 by Victoria

It’s strawberry season and the 50 plants have taken over two of my garden plots. That’s about 10′ x 30′ total. The asparagus and blueberries are competing for space and I’m too lazy to weed. So I go in there … Continue reading →

Interview with artist Victoria Veedall

Posted on June 1, 2009 by Victoria

I’m discovering quite a few gallery exhibiting artists with BFA’s and residencies in their background turning to Etsy or other online retail art sites like the more upscale 1000 Markets. These artists may still be in the gallery and museum system, … Continue reading →
