Marita Albers just posted a new painting, Lady Luck, on her blog. I think this is just so beautiful…reminds me Russian icons, the circus, and the fantastic tales of Angela Carter…really, it’s this sort of work by Albers that I mean when I say that I would love to get my hands on one of her pieces; but I don’t think I can afford paintings right now, and so I trade my journals for her plush cats. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Mushroom Kitty! But it’s Marita’s paintings that burn with a lighthearted fire.
She’s got this painting at her house right now (so she says on her blog)…
I am seriously contemplating an art heist in her part of the neighborhood. But man! she’s got tough security! Her evil hench-chickens roam vigilantly around her garden and inside her house at all hours…
Yes, the chook’s name is Cinderella, but I mustn’t underestimate the danger of this mission. Look at that mean eye! I need a fabulous fox assassin…
