For September I am happy to share with you the first couple of paintings in my new tropical island fantasy series, a group of small bright paintings.

Bring a drink and feel free to come hang out -- First Saturday Arts Market on 19th Street in the parking lot of the Wind and Water Gallery.

I'll have my prints on hand as well.

FYI the new originals are 12 by 12 inch acrylic on cotton paper, $50 -$100. Prints coming.

July Market

2011-06-27T12:38:00.000-07:00

Hey friends,

I have been very busy with Spirits of Doom, the new Middle Eastern Style band I am in. But I will be at market this weekend.

I will not have new paintings, but will have lots of prints, especially a good stock of small $10 matted prints, which make a neat gift, a nice memento, or something to brighten up a tiny spot with a colorful window into the imagination.

So, just come out, hang out, feel welcome, and I will try to remember to bring some extra chairs!

February -- Dog Kisses

2011-01-31T18:34:00.000-08:00

Ok, I always say but I don't do pet art! I say it an an authoritive, artsnob sort of way. But this time, it's all about dogs and all dog art benefits my dear friend who goes out of her way to save them -- a tenderheart for old houses, old people, and dogs.

Come out and see my originals and prints of dogs -- still in the works. They're bright and fun! And there's no telling what is coming next! I am painting all week! Hope they bring you a laugh and some delight!

February

2010-12-13T15:34:00.000-08:00

No Market is taking place in January this time, so come see me in February.

In the meantime, drop a note at sagerosse@gmail.com if you want to say hi, introduce me to a friend, or get a print you forgot to pick up. I will be in town

Stop in soon to see what kind of work I will be posting -- so exciting, funny and fun!

I think you will laugh!

The above paintings, and many others, are now available in the form of $20 matted prints.

The image is 8x10 and the outside of the mat is 11x14. Since this is a standard size, they fit right into an inexpensive ready made frame from the craft store. Or you can go wild with some wonderful custom framing.

Enjoy!

First Saturday in September

2010-08-15T12:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry I missed you in August!

Come see some vivid, full-of-joy work, more prints and big paintings.

New for August

Matted prints, a new low price at just $20.

My spouse will be there to say hi to friends and deter cretins, which is very generous considering it is his birthday.

Sage Rose Inner Child Tarot -- First Ten Cards

2010-05-16T19:59:00.000-07:00

A quiet afternoon and some markers led to this project. Unlike my first two attempts at creating a tarot, I did not attempt to be mystical or perfectionistic. Instead, I let my inner child take over. This one is not for publication, but the next one probably will be.

May it bring you glee!

Tarot . . . Still Going

2010-04-22T14:52:00.000-07:00

Tarot In Progress

2010-03-24T12:40:00.000-07:00

Trade Secrets -- Why I Recommend Laura Day's book "How to Rule the World from Your Couch"

2009-11-19T12:03:00.000-08:00

What if you found a Genie in a Bottle? What would you wish for? Just pretend. Make your wish. Outlandish, beautiful, selfish . . . it doesn't matter. Just wish. After all, you're just pretending.

. . . .

Sometimes people wonder how I get to be who I am and how I am. I would describe myself as in shape, stylish, loud, and happy. I paint bold, bright, paintings, sing, and have lots of friends. I know where the party is. What would be hard to believe is that I was once a scrawny, neglected, apologetic, nervous, lonely, and miserable English teacher. I forcibly smiled and worked myself sick while my marriage, health, and quality of life deteriorated.

What happenned? How did I get from Point A to today? Laura Day's book The Cirle taught me the art of wishing. You just wish and . . . hang on. Here it comes!

This book does not ask you to "believe" anything. Just wish, pretend, observe, and document.

Because of my incredible success with the Circle, I am now working with her book "How to Rule the World from Your Couch". It's a practical book that really gives you the edge: Intuition on the fly. Self possession. Sensing the pulse of the moment. Knowing the right word. Having the right skill. This book gets right to business, as practical as a First Aid kit, as fun as a bottle of Bubble Magic.

Also, if you're like me and enjoy fun "psychic phenomena" you can also use this book to have a great time with remove viewing, precognition, and seeing the world from someone else's perspective. Those of you have had some vivid psychic talent experiences will find practical advice on how to direct your skill, which is, by the way, very normal.

. . .

Back to that Genie in the Bottle. What if you could tuck that bottle in your purse just in case you needed a quick wish? Maybe you would need to untangle a frustrating situation, find a moment of joy, meet a friend, help someone who was hurting. You could just pull over and ask.

That would be fun! And you can do this.

You have so many abilities, perhaps hidden from yourself or formerly misdirected so that you did not recognize them. Now, you can get all your resources working together, to go from right where you are to right where you want to be. This book is about creating your own real world joy and success in your own way. I am working with it now!

You're really the genie. And your wish is your command! So, go and rule the world from your couch, or your car, or favorite park bench, or table at the coffee house. Laura's youtube videos on howtoruletheworldfromyourcouch.com will give you a preview.

Happy wishing!

Great businesses that support our work:

Frame Destination -- this place has mats, those nifty clear bags, and bags made of very sturdy bubble wrap for transporting your framed art and canvases -- and they are nice people too who run a good business, and get your order right to you. They also sent out in the past some pictures of a hawk family who was nesting on a cell tower by their office, which was very cool, gotta love a business with heart.

Zazzle.com -- if you haven't done a set of art postcards with them, try it, just set up for free and see if you like them. Come by my booth and see my Zazzle postcards. Also, nice people, good business. They contact you to make sure your order got there alright.

Imagekind.com -- check my store, innovative idea and gets your work out there, nice community of artists to talk to, my experience is it was hard to get ahold of a caring individual to answer questions, and I have not checked the quality of their printing and it is not yet time for me to get paid, but it is truly spiffy looking and you can get started for free.

Enjoy! Live long and Prosper. Make lots of money!

Come see my artwork, hang out, meet my friends and husband, and come up with fun things to do.

For this months themes I have adorable monsters, beautiful folkloric florals, and astrology pieces are in the works. If I don't have your sign by then, let me know and I'll put it next on the list!

Booth Visitors

2009-08-24T10:46:00.000-07:00

There are three kinds of people who belong at my booth, friends and family (xoxo) , art buyers ($$ yum yum) and fellow artists (Let's talk shop!)

There are three kinds who do not: prosletizers, politicians, and, um, shall we call them lonely fellows. All I have to say to them is, this is an art market. The singles bar is down the street, way way down the street, like off the edge of the earth somewhere. Bye.

September Market

2009-08-16T15:27:00.000-07:00

September

Those of you who are very in touch with the seasons will percieve the first subtle hints of fall are becomming more insistent, a faint chilled breeze pierces the heat, a sudden whirlwind of leaves scatter on the ground. More starlings arrive and begin to accustom themselves to the location their flock will call home for the coming winter. Only the observant will notice.

This months work includes birds, flowers, monsters, musical themes, and other delights. Many small paintings are in the works, perfect for adding a little touch of art. Images coming soon!

Thanks

2009-08-02T08:46:00.000-07:00

Thank you for a wonderful White Linnen Night!

For those who were interested, I am working on getting my prints set up for sale on the blog with Paypal.

You can find my original work and prints at The Village Firefly, along with many fabulous paintings and unique gifts all created by artists in the United States.

I had such a great time seeing family and friends, fellow artists and meeting new people. It was quite a crowd.

2009-07-27T12:10:00.000-07:00

White Linnen NIght

All new work!

These originals approx 9x12 for $85

Various matted 8x10 prints for $12

Those little dots on the flower are from when it started raining while I was photographing these. No harm done.

"What the Late Night Moths See"

approx 9x12

Acrylic and assorted media on paper

I learned that butterflies can see into the ultraviolet spectrum, so they can see colors that we do not. I am using some imagination and florescent paint to depict how they might see flowers differently.

"Minon Woman"

approx 9x12

Acrylic on paper

The ancient sculpture of the Minoan snake goddess inspired this fanciful piece, a post modern imagining of the ancient world.

"The Angel in February"

approx 9x12

Acrylic on Paper

My vision of this angel is of moonlight reflected by snow. In February many trees have no leaves, only flowers. Florescent pigments make a luminous presence.

These and many others will also be avail in matted 8x10 prints on sale just for White Linnen Night for only $20.

Soon matted prints will be for sale online.

Next Show

2009-07-22T15:46:00.000-07:00

Magical squash
Squash is my annual fall obsession. A collection of works ranging from 8x10 prints to 24x30 originals shows squash going to the moon, wearing henna tattos, getting married and viewing the annual squash migration.

"Apples and Pumpkins in the Fog"

9x12 Acrylic on Paper

Original avail at Gallery TBA, prints at Yale St.

Work in progress
"Gourds discussing the compatibility of their Astrological Charts"
9x12 Acrylic on paper
Original Avail at Gallery TBA, prints at Yale St.

Festive Monsters and Party Devils

"Happy Red Monsters"
9x12 Acrylic on Paper

Original and prints at Yale St.

I love hearing what people think these are -- Sendak's wild things? creatures from Oz? I'm not sure what they are but they are both disgustingly cute and a little sinister.

"Sexy Blue Devil"
24x30 Acrylic on Paper

Original and Prints at Yale St.

A playful, pop-cultural take on an ancient archetype. Would Jung be amused?

Works in Progress

Halloween Village -- an integration of organic and architectural shapes. Strange, slightly-retro, and weirdly cute. I might not have it ready by Halloween because of weather disruption, but then Halloween is fun all year!
