 Got up to get my water bottle and take some Ibuprofen my hands feel brutalized it hurts to click the mouse and type so I have been reading F-list posts and keeping up on things

 

I jammed something in the printer and will have to pull it out tomorrow and see what is wrong, But not tonight. To week I would just end up dropping it voice said not a good idea so I will wait. Last time I did not listen I messed up my over lock   

 

I am going to head back to bed soon and it is still early enough to dose out if I need to and I just might I have a new client coming tomorrow he booked the session when he saw me at the gas station this morning saw me and pulled in to talk to me.  I knew he was thinking of calling me and I want to be in a good place to help him sounds like the sciatica pain is just over the top most people come when they have reached that point where they can no longer take it anymore and are ready to try anything. If his hips are out I should be able to help realign them realize the TP points and maybe give him a bit of relief , knowing him it has to be really bad. Truly a hermit that dose not like to come down off his hill

Well off in search of some beauty rest…….

The Magician card affirms that my alter ego today is the Imagineer or Director, whose superpower is a state-of-the-art design force. By bringing free will and intention together with natural principles, the creative process is transformed into a blueprint for success. The spell is cast, and I don't have to see it to believe it. As a creative wiz, I have what it takes: the presence of mind to do what I do best. I can apply or advance new ideas and entertain new possibilities with resourceful and inventive attention to detail. I lay it on the line. I set the stage for performing my own enterprising experiments to make it over and make it work. I leave it all behind so that I can simplify or renovate the formula. I read between the lines for tips and tricks to following conventional methods and guarding my reputation and my privacy.

 I started searching on line about it and I guess it might be worth something trust me at the moment I would be so happy to sell the thing to someone that could restore it not only to get a little bit of change as even that is sparse but to get it out of my house I don’t want to give it away but it  dose take up space and I think it is sad thing to have something  that you don’t use.
My folks had a baby grand in the living room it was a show piece and I have memory’s of spending hours oiling it when I was young , one of my many chores. I thought it was stunning thing, black and commanding but no one in the family played it. My sister took lessions but hated it and I just could not hear music till I was in my twenties.  the kept it tuned and my folks sold it when they sold their home, still there always seemed something sad about it.
This one came with the house the crazy son of the owners loved to play it. I am not sure why he did not get it when his mom sold the house but it survived the gutting of the house and might have even spent time on the front porch when we redid the floor systems the wheels where broken and the X altered the bottom as you can see in the photos it is still not something you want to move across the floor way to heavy and when I moved back into the house I had some men with a dolly lift move it to where it is now. Maybe I could find some one that restores and sells them to take it for a minimal amount I could use the money at the moment something to think about seems like a pain to me for something not in very good condition but to people that  know this stuff it could be a find!

The heartfelt Leo Full Moon at 9:49 am EST is a Lunar Eclipse that can unexpectedly bring issues of love to the surface. The Sun's conjunction with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, adds intensity by reminding us of past experiences and old emotional pain. Dreamy Neptune is also in the mix, confusing our feelings as we try to determine what is real. Transforming a personal dilemma into a spiritual journey may be the wisest path open to us at this time.

really?

 

Save me from screeching deafening fire alarms that are hard wired all over the house and seem to only go off when I burn the English muffins in the broiler!!!!

 

The inside of my ears are throbbing those alarms would wake the dead!

Powerful planetary changes keep us on our toes as we move toward tomorrow's exact opposition between restrictive Saturn and permissive Uranus which will exaggerate tension. Even if we have been anticipating the next step in our lives, today's entry of heroic Mars into futuristic Aquarius puts us more in touch with what's ahead. Meanwhile, the restless Gemini Moon enables us to think quickly on our feet so we can respond to whatever surprises may arise.

Петр Швецов

“Болота”

 

Галерея современного искусства Anna Nova

6 февраля – 14 марта 2009

 

Открытие 6 февраля в 19.00

 

 

«Петр Швецов представляет проект-исследование границ живописи на примере одного, вроде бы простого, мотива – пейзажа с болотом. Живописная фактура проходит здесь проверку на способность передать глубину подтопленной трясины, в которой увязают взгляд и смысл. Исходный импульс для работы дала научно-популярная книга В. Н. Сукачева “Болота, их образование, развитие и свойства”, изданная в Ленинграде в 1926 году. В ней описываются причины возникновения и формы деформации кислой болотистой почвы, приводятся классификации топей по типам и видам, рассматриваются болотные флора и фауна. Проект “Болота” документирует постепенное раскрытие формата холста за щелочами, грязями, жирами, грунтами и лаками; последовательное очищение живописи от осязаемости скульптуры и объекта; эволюцию от материала к образу. Именно поэтому “Болота” – не живописная серия в строгом смысле слова, а круг работ, объединенных одной темой, исходным желанием всмотреться в максимальном приближении в этимологическую суть топи, в ее живописную глубину. Каждая новая работа и химически, и зрительно отличается от предыдущей, стоит на шаг дальше в исследовательской перспективе. Выбор жанрового мотива определил эволюцию стиля, но суровость избранных цветов изначально противилась салонности и самолюбованию, присущим пейзажному жанру в целом. От сухой черной театральности, восходящей к манере немецких “новых диких”, исследование развивалось в сторону образов красного болотного леса в духе экспериментов раннего Мондриана и тревожных видений Мунка и, наконец, вылилось в спокойное хвойное русло пейзажной классики русских передвижников. Вглядывание в топь обернулось движением вспять, к искусству XIX века, в ходе которого кричащий животный ужас перед омутом ушел внутрь традиционных по форме холстов, замкнулся в них, затаился тревожной напряженностью. Препарированный в творческой лаборатории пейзажный жанр обернулся суровой прямолинейной живописью без надписей и цитат-ужимок, без двусмысленностей “послания” и ответной интерактивности, без набивших оскомину игр в означающее и означаемое». (куратор выставки Дмитрий Озерков)

Петр Швецов родился в 1970 году в Ленинграде. Окончил Среднюю Художественную Школу при Академии Художеств, член Союза Художников России с 1992 года. Участвует в выставках с 1992 года. Автор нескольких графических циклов – “Неприличные картинки” (с 1999), “Бои без правил” (2000), “Абстрактные” (2001), “Аэропланы” (2002). Основные персональные выставки: “Теневое пространство” (Молодежный центр Государственного Эрмитажа, Санкт-Петербург, 2004); Columbarium (Институт ПРО АРТЕ и музей Геологоразведки им. Чернышева, Санкт-Петербург, 2004); “Цусима” (Государственный музей истории города, потерна Петропавловской крепости, Санкт-Петербург, 2006); “Забор” (галерея Nаvicula Artis и галерея Anna Nova, Санкт-Петербург, 2007); "Моя бабушка была права" (фестиваль "KiC NordArt", Бюдельсдорф, Германия, 2007); “Позвони мне и я сделаю все, что ты захочешь” (фестиваль "KiC NordArt", Бюдельсдорф, Германия, 2008); “Птичник” (выставочный зал журнала “Новый Мир Искусства”, Санкт-Петербург, 2008). В галерее Anna Nova состоялись две выставки Петра Швецова - проекты “Голова архитектора” (2005) и “Живое и мертвое” (2007). Работы Петра Швецова находятся в музеях и частных собраниях в России и за рубежом.

Quicksilver Mercury speeds backward into cautious Capricorn today, reminding us that we cannot escape serious problems of the recent past as we race into the future. We are about halfway through this Mercury retrograde that began on January 11 and ends on February 1, so we'll continue to rework old ideas, reconsider previous decisions and reschedule upcoming events. Nevertheless, we are upbeat with the Sagittarius Moon giving us hope and inspiration.
