Hi Everyone Happy Friday!!!
I am just taking a little break in between painting and doing laundry. I know, such an exciting Friday night huh? Well, I wanna do the laundry tonight because I really have a ton of housework to do this weekend...so I thought I'd get a jump on it. And---- I know this will sound goofy, but when the dryer is on...the sound relaxes me. (unless there's a metal buckle or something, slapping against the wall of the dryer)
So here's a sneak preview (below) of my Naughty Girlie Girl...(Still lots of things being added) if you can believe that? Ok, think about that last post I made about Alfredo Arreguins work? Please check out this link...it shows another closeup of one of the panels of a painting called "Eve Before Adam" owned by The Smithsonian. The entire painting is 72" X 144" and is an oil. (granted the jpg image is hard to see...but if you click on it you'll see a little larger version.)
GAWD!!! I love all that detail and pattern!!! I know...thats a personal thing and some people don't like that....but I just melt over this type of stuff!! AHHHHHHHHHHH
So anyway....I'm goin' max this little girl out in the same way. (hopefully) So you'll see it later with a lot more details...thank you Alfredo!!!

Oh!
I got to see the progress on my new office digs today! Yep...soon I will be moved from my spacious 14' x 14' office I've inhabited for 11 years over to a 9' 6" x 7' 10" space :( WAHHHHHHH ----Well, I hope I will make it just a comfy :) Pictures to follow. I will be moving in about a month.
So today one of my coworkers had a retirement party. She has worked there for 36 years! 50+ people attended and brought food to share during lunchtime. She was given a $800.00 gift cert!!! (Accumulated from employees) That's pretty darn great I thought! geez...
Anyway, I brought a pasta salad which I thought was pretty tasty, but I was a little late in taking it to the "buffet line" (by about 30 mins...) so no one (well, barely anyone) tried mine since they already filled their plate with the crappy store bought stuff. Wahh!---it wasn't wasted though... I gave a ton of it to my a friend to take home to her teenage kids and brought the rest home to Kip. He said, I can eat thisnow? I said YES! PLEASE EAT IT ALL! ---so he proceeded to eat three bowlfuls as his dinner! Gawd---honey! :) lol!!!
OK gang...back to the massive piles of laundry. Have a great evening! Talk with you all tomorrow.

This one is almost completed!? Woo! You are jamming on this baby! You must be excited!? no? oui oui oui!
Great naughty girl "erotica esoterica"... translated from Latin to English means: "mysteriously sexual" yaw yaw...wink wink...say no more. I love love love it Lo. And...you're gonna add even more details??? whoooeeee! Yeap! yeap! yeap! :0) Is your middle name Alfredo A.? (jk)
p.s. I like the lull of the dryer drying too. ~;>)

Her eyes are beautiful.
The green /blue piece at the right looks like MOLA handicraft.
I found more information about Alfredo. He is great.(As are you!!)
Have a nice weekend.ANNIE
this one just begs to be named something about "Eve" what with the serpent there and all . . .

Am I a naughty girl imagining penises all over that painting? It's LOVELY!. And very naughty. I concur about the EVE thing.

Posted by: dan on October 30, 2004 11:51 PMDang! Lo, that one is super cool, I'd call it 'The Garden of Felice' (or fAlice)... Felice would be kind of a play on Phalic.
Wow, Can't wait to see it with all your funky little designs added.
Great stuff!
