A friend of mine and I traded art with each other. We planned it two months ago and met up this weekend to trade. My friend is a photographer but she wanted to explore her creativity in a different way. She used different sized hole punches to punch paint samples (that she already had) and arrange them on white greeting cards. They are modern and gorgeous and I love them.<br />

This is the piece I made for her. I used acrylic paint and collage with one of my monotypes on a piece of wood. <br />

This summer, I'd like to do more art trades. If you would like to trade art with me, please let me know. You don't have to be an "artist" in the official sense. I know that each person has their own creativity and maybe yours is waiting to come out in new ways and this is your opportunity! Let me know and I'll be in touch in the coming months!

Duke turned two at the end of January and he just started skating with his Dad at the skatepark on Saturdays. He's been skating in our backyard before he could walk. He is really serious and passionate about it. <br />
<br />
That's my latest mixed media on board, inspired no doubt by my son. He actually collaborated with me on this one, suggesting where to place the pink edged skateboard.<br />
<br />
I am glad it is getting warmer. I believe I had some winter doldrums. Sometimes I pretend I am in Waikiki.

When I was asked to be featured in the Art for Surfers issue of Japan's <a href="http://www.blue-mag.com/mag/" target="_blank">Blue magazine</a>, I was completely thrilled. When the magazine arrived in the mail last week, I jumped for joy. It is a gorgeous issue and I am honored to be included with so many great artists. Arigatou Blue magazine! <br />

The morning of my November birthday was spent on the coast. I had the best bagel of my life at the <a href="http://www.hmbreview.com/community/where-bagels-and-bolt-cutters-collide/article_babdd224-b978-5917-a09b-4849f21053a6.html" target="_blank">hardware store in El Granada</a>. I highly recommend the "Low Card" - a toasted bagel with cream cheese, avocado, bacon and hot sauce. Then we went to <a href="http://www.bahiker.com/southbayhikes/pillarpt.html" target="_blank">Pillar Point</a>, which is where you can see Mavericks when it breaks. I had a happy celebration with loved ones at my mom's house - each year I make the same request for pizza and my mom's cupcakes. And to have a birthday card with little scribbles on it from Duke, well. I sure do love being alive.Jamie Welsh Watsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787488218504581076noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-86655744591393703462012-12-06T13:41:00.004-08:002013-01-09T14:58:15.689-08:00Guerilla Art Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>What is guerilla art?</b><br />
Guerilla art, also known as "street art", is leaving art in public spaces for others to find and enjoy.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Intro:</b><br />
For the past two months, I have been a mentor to two 8th grade students, Heydi Orozco and Robert Jimenez from <a href="http://www.sparkprogram.org/" target="_blank">Spark</a>, a national non-profit whose mission is to provide life-changing apprenticeships to youth in underserved communities. Robert and Heydi were assigned to me because they want to be artists. We have been working on a <span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;">guerrilla art project and each week we meet at my studio to discuss our inspirations, ideas, and make art. Heydi and Robert are amazing, smart and talented kids who love learning and love making art. Heydi is interested in Japanese culture, especially <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime" target="_blank">anime</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga" target="_blank">manga</a> and Japanese rock music. Robert wants to paint with oils and learn to do landscapes.</span><br />

<br />
<span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;">Heydi and Robert have produced individual <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotyping" target="_blank">monotypes</a> with the sole purpose of displaying and distributing their work for free in public spaces within our community. Our goals are 1) We want art to be accessible for everyone to enjoy and 2) that when you create something that you love and send it out into the world, good will come from it. </span><span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;">The "Free Art" sticker on the front of each piece means we want you to own it, display it, or share it. Yes you can take it home and frame it! We hope you will be inspired in some way.</span><br />

<span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;"><b>What you can do:</b></span><br />
<span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;">If you were lucky enough to discover Robert or Heydi's work in Redwood City or Palo Alto, please leave a comment telling us about it! </span><br />
<br />
<span id="taw" style="margin-right: 0;">If you have time, please send us a photo showing where your new artwork rests and I will repost it here. Please send your photo to pineappleluv at gmail dot com. When Robert and Heydi talk to me about what is most fulfilling about this project, they each say that they're excited about who may find their artwork. </span><br />

I say to Duke what my beloved Grandma Noni used to say to me often, with joy in her voice as she squeezed me tight, "How come I love you so much"!?!Jamie Welsh Watsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787488218504581076noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-90495442102534717002012-11-14T07:30:00.000-08:002012-12-11T21:22:09.608-08:00Art headed to Maine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made this monotype for the <a href="http://www.portlandmaine.com/event/the-river-louten-benefit-gala/" target="_blank">River Louten Benefit Gala</a> this Friday night in Portland, Maine. I'm really glad that curator <a href="http://cargocollective.com/curatorofallgoodthings" target="_blank">Tyler McGinley</a> asked me to donate art. Donating art gives me one of the best feelings in life because it makes me feel like a useful human being. I hope this piece warms someone up in Maine and that it helps beautiful <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/118209691666289/?ref=nf" target="_blank">River.</a>Jamie Welsh Watsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787488218504581076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-75572584646202128742012-11-13T12:00:00.001-08:002012-11-14T15:50:33.352-08:00Jay Watson, Photographer, Moonwalker<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L0yWLU_aiio?rel=0" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
Helloooo Canada! Have you already seen the Sears holiday commercial on TV? Did you notice the guy moonwalking at the 20 second mark? That just happens to be world famous <a href="http://www.jaywatson.com/" target="_blank">photographer, Jay Watson</a>.
Here's the story -<br />
<br />
I shot a video of my husband <a href="http://youtu.be/awm3VRu2HFM" target="_blank">moonwalking</a> while we were visiting Lake Tahoe earlier this year. I put it on <a href="http://vimeo.com/40784025" target="_blank">Vimeo</a> and about a month ago, I got an email asking if <a href="http://www.sears.ca/homepage" target="_blank">Sears Canada</a> could use the clip for their new holiday commercial.<br />
<br />
I was pretty sure they wanted to use it because Jay was shoveling snow and we all know that Sears sells <a href="http://www.sears.ca/catalog/snow-shovels/14941" target="_blank">shovels</a> and that it <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/11/12/bc-snow-weather.html" target="_blank">snows a ton in Canada</a>. No. "Our team searched hundreds of hours of home movies and personal videos
to find moments with true spontaneity, fun, and a joyful spirit".<br />
<br />
You may be wondering, what does Jay have to say about his TV debut? "I never thought that practicing the moonwalk in middle school would lead to this moment".Jamie Welsh Watsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787488218504581076noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-17697509211101887302012-10-08T08:00:00.000-07:002012-10-08T12:04:25.990-07:00Mixed Media on Boards - New Work<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We are prepping for the show this Saturday and getting very excited about it! I will take photos at the show and post them next week.<br />
<br />
When Duke was very small, I would feed him and daydream about what I wanted for my future, for me - as well as for Duke's sake so he could see that his Mom is happy and fulfilled. I imagined myself spending time doing what I love. This show is a daydream come true. And just the beginning!<br />
<br />
Sending Love to you all.<br />

Here is a glimpse of a recent morning. Duke loves it when Jay gives him a ride on the skateboard. We have 4 chickens and this one is Carmen, a Barred Rock. Chicken language is not always easy to decipher but in this video, she is asking for a raisin. Here's to many good mornings for you!Jamie Welsh Watsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17787488218504581076noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-72099681693501628962012-05-15T12:01:00.000-07:002012-05-15T17:08:11.643-07:00Feist and Kyle Field<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="283" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/25051818" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe>
