Same address, <a href="http://www.ericahauser.com/">www.ericahauser.com</a>, new design and easier for me to maintain. It is the new home of my blog as well, so the blogspot will remain, for now, as an archive from May 2011 through now (mid-August 2015). Of course this span contains several long lapses, but there are still over 300 and I think some are quite nice, at least they track my practice and thoughts, among other things, over that time.<br />
So if you have found your way to my blogspot page somehow, you are welcome to browse past blog posts, which I have never properly archived beyond dates- no word cloud or tags or anything so useful- and please visit my <a href="http://www.ericahauser.com/">website</a> for recent posts and current work. Thank you!<br />

I first painted these ice cream cones outside the Beacon Creamery on the corner of Main St and 9D maybe 6 years ago, and repainted them 2 years ago, but they were looking shabby and due for a fresh coat this summer. I finally got to it this morning, and my friend caught me as I was close to finishing up. Only one driver called out the window, "Where's the chocolate?"</div>

Opening this weekend at Theo Ganz Studio, 'Mostly Maquettes', a fundraiser to benefit Beacon 3D, a 5-month-long public art project comprising 20 outdoor sculptures situated around town. The show will have 2D and 3D works for sale, including these three small paintings, two of which are new this summer. I'm glad to support the project. The gallery is at 149 Main Street, with an opening and preview this Fri Aug 7, 4-8 pm. It will be up through Aug 16.</div>

Despite claiming earlier this year that I would not let such a lapse occur again, I did, and I'm sheepish once more. Recently I started an <a href="https://instagram.com/erica_hauser/">Instagram page</a> (Follow me!) a nice quick way to put my images out there with (or without) a few words attached. Soon I will understand more about how to use it effectively. Or, maybe I won't, just as I never quite learned how to best use my blog. However, doesn't take a tech whiz to point out snidely that posting regularly is a good start.<br />
I'm thinking of ways to make this easier, like possibly integrating the blog into the website. While we are at it, how about updating the content of the website too? Perhaps some paintings completed in the past year? Maybe refine that joke of an artist statement? No, I can't take it easy on myself any more. I was busy this spring, and it was great, but I've got to focus on this while I'm not yet too busy stacking wood and complaining about the weather. (I've actually begun stacking again, but just occasionally so far.) And how can I devote a post to my new wheelbarrow (!) if I'm not posting? I ask you.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are thirty delicious popsicles I painted in June, each 7" square, 1/4" thick, acrylic on wood. They are for sale in my online <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/238021555/popsicle-paintings?ref=shop_home_active_1">Etsy shop </a> or email/message me to purchase. Flavors subject to availability. With this nonstop aggressive marketing push, it's a wonder I have any left.<br />

Two more ice cream wrapper paintings, acrylic on wood, poorly photographed. <i>Sure Good</i> and <i>Happy Days</i>, a second version of an earlier one that had sold because, who wouldn't want happy days?<br />
When I have enough of these, whatever enough is (so far just 10), I'll have them properly shot so I can make prints.<br />

I'm mining the past few months for some of the pictures and bits of info that I didn't post during my blog hiatus (what else can I call it?). On Facebook, posts whiz by and are swiftly forgotten, and I'm not on Instagram (yet), and I can't update my own website (embarrassing admission!), so this is still my main way of collecting the ephemera of my activities in one virtual place. There is the Catalyst blog as well, which is an extension of my projects when I'm the one co-organizing a group show, as was the case twice this winter. February was our <a href="http://catalystgallery.com/2015/02/donut-love/">Coffee and Donuts Show</a>, for which I painted this one (14"x18" acrylic on canvas), based on a vintage photo I found of a Krispy Kreme. </div>

This is just me modeling the newest iteration of my Beacon dummy light shirt, in slate gray. I sold some at the holidays and thought I'd revive the marketing now that it's nearly short-sleeve weather. All sizes for men and women, some men's in black, kids sizes in white/black and baby onesies. $24 and available through my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EricaHauserArtist?section_id=15384315&ref=shopsection_leftnav_4">Etsy shop</a> or by emailing me directly at erica@ericahauser.com. It's about time to don my orange vest and touch up the actual light itself, it's looking scuffed after a rough couple years.<br />

Drink this and that. The only one not specifically soda is <i>Creamsicle</i> from the ice cream wrapper series, but the guy is apparently a 'soda jerk' behind a fountain, so it works, and perhaps will interest more people in dropping by to see more of them next month at <a href="http://www.beaconopenstudios.org/">Beacon Open Studios</a>. As the past couple years, I'll be using the back space of <a href="http://www.catalystgallery.com/">Catalyst Gallery</a> to show recent paintings and to sell some of those delightful Beacon dummy light t-shirts and mugs.</span><br />

<br />
I posted this (22"x26" framed) recently but here it is with more context. This painting will be in an exhibition opening April 11 at Theo Ganz Studio in Beacon, called <i>dispatches from eternity</i>. Artists were to interpret the title. After I made this piece in January, the curator encouraged me to submit it, suggesting it suited this theme, and I saw this was completely true in its way. I started looking at some of my work more critically as I wrote my accompanying paragraph, and it became part of an ongoing revision of my artist statement. Which, since I haven't posted at all for so long, is almost a fresh piece of writing, even though it has similar content.<br />
<br />
My paintings often start with the idea of wanting to describe some moment in time by way of a detail or a memory. I find an object, a sign, a streetscape, and by photographing and later painting it, I am able to place my thoughts in that time for a while. I feel an emotional, appreciative response and also a detachment from an experience I never really had, and must be content to imagine.<br />
<br />
When I am not coming across objects and scenes myself, I look for images in old found photographs, in ephemera like ice-cream wrappers and road maps, catalogs and clippings. I may paint them as I see them or I may add or remove elements to find my own perspective. It's not a sentimentality, though I like when my work evokes a viewer's own memories. Painting lets me bring my objects back into the conversation, from one everyday life into another.<br />
<br />
This potential for fluidity between past and present, of memory and experience both real and imagined, is my approach to the idea of eternity. It is the sense of time stretching in both directions and back around with no clear meeting place, a continuum along which we map our own stories. This painting of Newburgh is based on a photograph from Newburgh Historical Society's archives, and depicts a bustling lively city in the 1940s or 50s, full of culture and commerce, pedestrians, cars and activity. The photo captures a moment in the city's rich and complicated history, and in making a painting of it now, I want to slow down our observation of it, even to stand at the same corner the long-ago photographer stood. The six panels comprising the piece are like six different perspectives of the scene, and also resemble a window in time through which we can see life happening.<br />

I admit that it's somehow satisfying to hurl frozen-together chunks of wood at the ground to bust them apart, or to kick loose some iced-over pieces of wood that have welded themselves to the pavement. Plus it's easier to drive over muddy dirt roads that have re-frozen rather than sinking oozily into the deep ruts after last week's thaw. Yet after four more days of trudging back and forth with my laden wheelbarrow that has amazingly lasted one more winter, and carrying armloads of wood up steps onto porches and into sheds, I think I'm about ready to hang up my superalls for the season. Will winter relinquish its icy grip and let us uncurl our clenched white fingers, will the mounds of dirty slush finally melt and the frigid air not sting our faces as we hurry, bundled, to our cars.<br />
<br />
No, it was not a good day to try on swimsuits.<br />
<br />
In its final hours, winter had one more snowfall to release. As ready as I am to shake off the cold part, I didn't mind the snow, one more chance to appreciate the beauty of it. Living 36 winters you know that it will melt quicker than you think and that the spring bulbs are just beneath the earth, far more ready to face the sun than your pale and withered winter skin.<br />
<br />
You also know that saying you'll go back to regularly posting to your blog is easier than actually doing so; as much as you enjoy it, there seems to be some resistance. Let spring, a time of renewal, also be a time of renewing such efforts.<br />

I have new prints of these nine paintings now available for sale. All are on 8 1/2" x 11" paper with an approx 1/2" white border; the square ones are different, and the small ptgs are actual size, for example the Mixer is 6"x6". Many others are on my Etsy shop, the rest will get there very soon. They are $25 each, or $20 for a limited time if you visit either Catalyst Gallery (137 Main St Beacon) this weekend or the Brewster reception (Studio Around The Corner, 67 Main St) where I'll be this Friday 7-9pm. </div>

Reporting on this week's news: I have a show opening on Friday at a gallery off Main Street in Brewster. At The Studio Around the Corner behind the Old Town Hall, just steps away from the long-shuttered Cameo movie theater and a couple blocks from the Metro-North train station, six miles from where I grew up on Old Milltown Road. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I am showing 12 to 15 paintings and will have prints for sale as well. A local photographer will also be exhibiting his work. The reception is Friday evening, 7-9 pm; more info is below. <i>Window Letters</i> (here) is in it; not a new painting, but still one of my favorites.</div>

There's really no way for me to un-self-consciously start up my blog again without acknowledging the -ulp- four months that have gone by since I last posted. It wasn't intentional, as in, let me regroup or take time to clarify my intentions or make more work or any such excuse. No, just the same old, one week became two became a month became four. But I regret this lapse. It started (or stopped, I should say), I suspect, as a reluctance to repeat myself here after three years of "Look, I'm in another group show/ I stacked a lot of firewood/ I read books/ I made new prints/ I organized a show of 50 artists at my gallery/ I made calendars/ I'm in another group show/ I made a thing for an event/ I painted more stuff/ I drove and took pictures."<br />
Which, far from a reason to shut up, could have nudged me to broaden my activities, except- surprise- these reports are actually why my blog exists, as a method of communication to others and a record for myself that's smoothed out and cinched in for general perusal. When I went too long between posts, I missed doing it. I didn't stop painting or exhibiting, but it's sobering how easily I could tell myself that blogging 'doesn't matter' because time went by and things were ok without me going on about it. I am remembering now that 'ok' isn't enough and shouldn't be. No one will ever make as big a fuss about me and my work as I, so- very needlessly to say- it is up to me to create the content.<br />
A couple months ago, someone did contact me to ask if I was ok, since I hadn't posted in so long. Embarrassed, I typed "yes.." and went back to posting a blink-and-you-miss-it update on the mixed bag that is Facebook. Then last week, a discussion at a BeaconArts board meeting about using our website to generate connections in and beyond our community by sharing content from local creative businesses and artists' blogs made my sheepish-artist ensemble complete. I had been ba-a-a-adly negligent for too long. Time to begin again. Or tomorrow, tomorrow is fine too.Erica Hauserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09987238644966011246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455139465876509477.post-78735052712156601002014-10-17T19:52:00.000-07:002014-10-17T19:52:13.434-07:00local colorTwo receptions this weekend for area group shows that I have some work in.

'You got car paintings?'<br />
'Yes, I sure do have car paintings.'<br />
'Great. What sizes?'<br />
'A bunch of different sizes, 12 or 20 inch…'<br />
'Great. I'll need a few smaller ones as it turns out.'<br />
'No problem', I assure him, forgetting the pivotal word CAR. I have a few large paintings of cars (the Edsel; the Beetle, a couple Fords) that will be too big. I grab two smallish vehicle paintings- one older, one new- and drop them at the venue- the <a href="http://www.mamaronecklibrary.org/index.html">Mamaroneck Public Library</a>. I send off an email.<br />
'You got my pieces, right? Did you hang the show yet?'<br />
'HAUSER!!! Yes you are up.... NO you did not paint cars.... you painted trucks!!! Fear not, all is well. Love how you paint... always have.' <br />
'Oops. Sorry. Trucks aren't cars?'<br />
The show, <i>Art of The Automobile</i>, is up through Oct 27, with a reception Sat Oct 18th 2-4pm.<br />

'A sukkah is a house that gives no shelter, a house that parodies the idea of security. It's a Jewish sand mandala of a building, open to the sky and used for seven days around the time of the fall harvest and then dismantled. It's rickety and tenuous, creating the illusion of permanence and highlighting the impermanence of everything… Beacon Hebrew Alliance will contemplate and celebrate these universal themes of ephemerality and transience in <a href="https://beaconhebrewalliance.org/events/2014-10?event_type_236[]=Open+to+the+Sky">Open to the Sky: The Beacon Sukkah Project</a>, which will be at Polhill Park (by the Beacon Visitors' Center) October 8-16.'<br />
I helped install the artwork in the sukkah today, using wood and twine to hang the pieces like scrolls against the sunlit walls of cloth. Above, the roof frame laid with bamboo made soft rustling sounds in the wind.<br />
<br />
As for my contribution.. The leaf painting in the center of my piece is from a larger portrait I made many years ago of a dear friend, for a show with the theme 'Influence'. That part, painted beyond her laughing face, was inspired by looking down into dark water at bright fallen leaves swirling on the surface. It became its own painting which I kept for a long time, but it ceased to mean what it once had. The seasonal transition is an obvious example of impermanence, but in this work it also signifies, to me, how a piece of art can shift in personal meaning over time. Holding onto a work to evoke memory or sentiment isn't always necessary. I liked the idea of integrating it into this patchwork quilt-like piece for the sukkah, passing it on to be seen again in a new way for a new purpose.<br />

I'm pleased that three of my paintings were accepted to<i> Small Matters of Great Importance</i>, the <a href="http://www.edwardhopperhouse.org/">Edward Hopper House</a>'s annual juried show in Nyack, NY. The show will run October 25, 2014 - January 4, 2015, with a reception on Saturday, October 25, 2-4 pm.<br />
I have entered before (see <a href="http://ericahauser.blogspot.com/2011/08/hopper-to-hauser.html">hopper to hauser</a>) but the only time I was in this show was 2006, so it will be nice to see my work there again, in the house where Hopper grew up. The 2014 theme is 'En Route'. It being a theme of mine as well, I had no trouble finding images to submit. Sometimes the juror agrees with me. I did not get selected for the 'Under 40' show at WAAM (in Woodstock), but as the only common link is having yet to complete one's fourth decade, there is no way to know what kind of show it will be, or whether one's work stands a chance. If under 40 means edgy, I suspect I'm always out of the running. Though I got in a couple years ago. The funny thing was that I was one of the few artists who attended the opening, and nearly everyone else in the room was well over 40. Yes, I need to search for new shows to enter, new galleries, probably new cities. Build a house on top of a truck bed and just start knocking down doors.<br />

It will be up through Nov 22. More info about the show and the gallery at the link. <div>
I will try to replace this with a better photo; this one makes it look all soft and faded out, but in fact it is much darker and the brushstrokes more evident. I guess I am making a point to emphasize this because I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I am pleased in the end by its texture (invisible here) and my ability to create a semblance of my appearance in paint- a rare attempt, and one I was glad to receive the challenge to have. I am lounging against an antique Packard, peach in hand.</div>
<div>
The painting, <i>The Rest is History</i>, is 13"x20" acrylic on wood.</div>

It's tomorrow and Sunday, September 26 and 27, 11am-5pm. I will have new and recent work installed in my friend Bruno Krauchthaler's studio in the Atlas Industries building at 11 Spring St in Newburgh. Maps for self-guided tours are available at Newburgh Art Supply, on Grand St (off Broadway), and at most of the studios. Tonight 7pm there is a kickoff party to which all are welcome, at Teran Studio on 119 Broadway. Looks like it will be a nice weekend! I will show some of the ice cream wrapper paintings and a few other paintings/drawings from the past 4 months.<br />

It's been a staggeringly long time- most of September- since I posted something, and I'm not even sure why, since I've been making work and doing stuff. The irony was that I'd originally planned this to be a make-and-post-a-painting-a-day month- but the required discipline and ability to ruthlessly, efficiently structure my time, eluded me. I made two 8x10" oil paintings right off the mark. But I felt there was a whiff of stagnancy about them. Though if I had persisted and done thirty of them, the number at least would demonstrate some kind of focus. Nevertheless. It's not too late, as with most self-motivated practices. And I'll post twice a day to compensate.<br />
Two weeks ago I made this painting for my nephew Ben for his 21st birthday. He may be legal now to order real beer- and has been well-versed in the responsible consumption of alcohol, and in fact ordered a flight of small amber-hued drafts at his birthday dinner- but he always liked root beer as a kid.<br />

Fortunately, September is still a good month for ice cream.<br />

I am noticing now that this is not the best photo. I will replace it shortly. The truth is I have finally gotten an iPhone, so I'm starting to take photos with it and upload them directly, but so far they're not looking so great- I know there's potential for taking decent pics with the phone camera, I just haven't learned how yet and when I sit down to study it, I just.. space out.<br />
<br />
Oh, and.. these new paintings (and more) are for sale over in my<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EricaHauserArtist"> Etsy shop</a>.<br />
And.. over in my <a href="http://ericahauser.spreadshirt.com/">Spreadshirt shop</a> you can get 15% off a <a href="http://www.ericahauser.com/dummyltshirt.html">dummy light t-shirt</a> through Sept 2. Though even after Sept 2, they're just $25 and are now available in several colors.<br />
<br />
I may start an Instagram feed soon, which is something else I need to understand more about, but I think it involves posting work quickly and frequently, collecting oodles of followers and watching as they click links to 'buy this item' over and over. Must look into this. I'm seeing stars.Erica Hauserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09987238644966011246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455139465876509477.post-60800622206486868082014-08-28T12:34:00.000-07:002014-08-28T15:55:03.637-07:00pop art seriesI've been making a series of paintings based on vintage ice cream wrappers. The more of them I paint, the more I understand about why I'm doing it. Some are from a small collection of actual wrappers my friend got in a letterpress shop, for others I found images online-- there are still plenty for sale on eBay, though it's the selecting and translating the designs into painted objects that I am after. So many small ice cream companies across the country once, producing an endless array of treats. Here are six-- acrylic on wood panels 3/4" thick, varying sizes up to 14". All are for sale in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EricaHauserArtist">Etsy shop</a>.<br />

I hung several paintings this week at <a href="http://www.addressyourappetite.com/">Caffe Macchiato</a>, a great cafe at 99 Liberty St in Newburgh. All works are for sale and can be viewed larger on my own <a href="http://www.ericahauser.com/">website</a>. (Some are also available on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EricaHauserArtist">Etsy shop</a>.) Open every day except Mondays, the cafe will be closed Aug 25-31, then reopen in September, and my work will be on view for the month. </div>

The weekend of September 27-28, 2014 is <a href="http://www.newburghopenstudios.org/">Newburgh Open Studios</a>, and I will show some new work in a friend's studio on Spring St a couple of blocks away. More info about this event as it draws closer!</div>

Here's the painting in the 'Famous for 12 Inches' show at Castle Fitzjohns Gallery (98 Orchard St) now through Aug 22. You're supposed to visit the show in person, then vote (for me!) by sending an email to info@castlefitzjohns.com and putting my name as the subject line. The artist w/the most votes gets a year's representation by the gallery. My friends and I decided that the results could be a bit skewed- popularity vs quality- but it draws attention to a nice gallery and it got me down to the lower East Side to talk to a few people, after fueling up with a pineapple margarita down the block.<br />
There was a large variety of media applied to all those 12"x12" surfaces. Mine is factory-made high-pigment acrylic paint on canvas. Pthalo turquoise, cadmium orange, mars black and palest blue.Erica Hauserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09987238644966011246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455139465876509477.post-84609716211337348992014-08-08T09:09:00.003-07:002014-08-08T09:09:52.363-07:00famous for 12 inches<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm in this big group show opening tonight, Aug 8, at Castle Fitzjohns Gallery, 98 Orchard St on the Lower East Side in NYC. Canvases are all 12"x12". I don't have a good photo of mine yet, but it is a variation on my Howard Johnson's painting, and I think it's pretty sharp. But is it sharp enough to win? People can vote on their favorite work, by coming tonight, 7-10 pm, or stopping by any day through Aug 22.Erica Hauserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09987238644966011246noreply@blogger.com0
