Our, V. Gifted 17-Year Old Resident Artist, Will NOT Let Me Post Pictures Of The Amazing Pottery She Made For Us For Christmas!

by Anura Guruge
on December 25, 2023



She worked till 2am Christmas Day morning getting these ready — baking them in the oven etc.

She makes us art, as presents, for Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s/Father’s Day etc. She gets more daring & better each year.

This year we each got a very realistic sculpture of a reclining figure. Very clever. Very cute.

Well this year she was ADAMANT that I can’t post any pictures of her art! Bummer.

She is a private artist. She will not show her art; not share her art or sell her art. Shame. But, she is MY daughter — & as she points out, multiple times a day, she can do whatever she wants. And she does. SMILE.

Given my innate, deep ingrained love for art, I can never get enough of “Meredith’s” awesome Sculpture Walk. Whenever I am in Meredith, which alas is not that often anymore, I try to make point of walking at least a part of the WALK. Last Thursday I got to walk a fair chunk of it. I didn’t get good photos of all. So, the above, alas, will have to suffice.

I have done a previous post of the WALK with other pictures. Please check that out.

Now there is also the breathtaking MURAL. I did a post on that too.

Plus, my childhood hero ‘Archie‘. SMILE.

Every time I now visit ‘Laconia‘, which is about 3 times a week — all to attend my ‘Rotary‘ meetings I am delighted & amazed by the brilliance, volume & the variety of art I run into. Today, I didn’t have to go far at all, at all. All of these pieces were in the room, at the ‘Belknap Mill’ that we meet. As always, I have NOT done adequate justice to these pieces — & I apologize to the artists. SORRY. I just want the world to see what you have created. This has to do with the 200-year anniversary celebrations for the famous, imposing, historic & picturesque Mill.

Laconia has become quite the Mecca for art. Everytime I visit I encounter impressive examples all over the place. These were all at the ‘Belknap Mill’ where we had our ‘Rotary Meeting’. I didn’t get time to check who work these were. They were GOOD. Very good. Loved them.

Some of you are already v. familiar with Teischan’s art — especially her mandalas.

For the last few months she has been making these beautifully patterned stone necklaces using stones that she POLISHES. Yes, I had got her a stone polisher a few years ago as a Christmas present.

She has made at least 20. But, she will NOT part with them. They are just for her & the mother. That is OK. She doesn’t have to sell them — yet.

Enjoy.

Click to ENLARGE. This morning when I powered up my Pixel 5.

I have the setting that gives me a new wallpaper every morning.

A whole new modern/abstract art genre the last few days. I read somewhere that Google had developed a whole library of new, exciting wallpapers for the Pixel 6 & might preview some on the Pixel 5. This could be it.

I am impressed. The new wallpaper or not, I am planning of getting a Pixel 6 XL just for the latest camera (with its much better zoom).
