I’ve taken over the Wedgwood Ale House in Seattle!  Stop by and have a peek.  I’ve got big, wild works in the bar, and smaller, happy, colorful pieces in the family dining room. All work is for sale, minus one, which already sold…. So come in, have a beer, and buy a painting!  I’ll look that ^^^ happy! 😉

The show will be up, I believe, until the 6th of April, 2013

Meet Me @ 25 of the Best – An Interview

Heather Carr Self Portrait

Hello friends!  I was interviewed at the beginning of February by 25 of the Best.  I’m just telling you now, because I’ve been battling illness for weeks… Finally on the mend, I think!

Hope you’ll check out my interview.  And browse around – there are some fascinating characters featured there.

Hope to be around a lot more this month.

–Heather xx

P.S.  I’d like to send a big thank you to QuantumPhysica for having me on her blogroll.  Thank you, QP!  My interview came about from your sharing of my blog.  I really appreciate it.  –Check out her blog y’all!

Red Right Ankle

Red Right Ankle-The Decemberists drawing leg sock Heather CarrThis is the story of your red right ankle
And how it came to meet your leg
And how the muscle, bone, and sinews tangled
And how the skin was softly shed
And how it whispered,
“Oh, adhere to me
For we are bound by symmetry
And whatever differences our lives have been
We together make a limb”
This is the story of your red right ankle
(from The Decemberists “Red Right Ankle”)

I’ve been sick for the entire month of February, so other than finishing up a commission and doing an interview, I’ve done nothing but doodling in my sketchbook.  The commission that I was working on was an album cover, so I’ve had the process of pairing songs and images running through my head…
Next week I’ll share with you my interview, a solo show I’m doing for the month of March, and, hopefully, the finished CD for The Northerlies.

By the way, The Brig Studio Artists, who I am a part of, have a show going on now in the North Seattle Community College Library.  If you happen to be on campus, come check us out!  My pieces will be there until the end of February.  I’m scheduled to take over both rooms of the Wedgwood Ale House for the month of March.  I’m going to display as much as possible – I can’t wait!

Paintings From The Brig

I tried filming myself painting while over at the Brig on Friday.  I crafted a makeshift tripod for my phone using a paper towel roll, a yogurt container and some tape.  It worked, sort of… I gathered more footage at home and created this with iMovie’s trailer maker….

Here’s my new work in progress… Lost In My Mind
