Notes Links News Ideas?
One special word: since I am inputting all my text, part of my Notes section will change and perhaps (when I am ambitious) on a daily basis. You may watch for some daily news, lessons I am learning, thoughts and ideas which might be of interest to one or all of you.

Here is a new review I just received about my book, The Artists' Survival Manual. I am deeply moved by it!
"If I were leaving civilization, and could only take one book to most comprehensively represent each category in my lifetime library of collected knowledge, this is the book I would choose as my Artist’s Guide. It addresses everything you’ll need to know along the way, and more importantly, things you didn’t know you had to know, that can make all the difference in your success as a working artist. I can’t recommend it highly enough."

My Greek Studio closed the end of October 2004. I returned to my San Francisco Studio the end of November 2004. I have the same email, as usual..and all my artwork was with me, taking the journey from Kamilari!!.
Now, it is August 15,2005 and I am in my San Francisco Studio and how wonderful it is to be here! The 40 foot container arrived safely with our possessions!
Notes About my Art Objects:
In the painting section you will see that I have a body of paintings, done here in Crete, which are on buff coloured paper.
The wood section is about my current series of painted wooden art objects. I think I can call them my sculptures. By the way, they are all free standing and many of them are painted on both sides. They are all unlimited edition multiples. They are brazilian plywood about 3/8" thick. They are painted first with white housepaint, two coats and then the third coat with liquitex acrylic gesso. After I hand paint the image, the object is then varnished, on all sides with Alfaxyl, a wood preservative, and varnish. The varnish helps them stay outdoors much of the year and also helps keep the objects clean. They can be cleaned with a damp sponge and water. You may place them at your side to keep you company.
I like the description which
Philippe Burdet has given me to use in the online www.museumsart.de website which also includes some of my artworks:
"... Zu ihren ArtObjects schreibt Kunst- kenner und -sammler Philippe Burdet, Lausanne:
"Interested since her travel in Greece in the shadow theatre of Karaghiozi, Toby Judith Klayman's wooden art- objects bring to life another similar kind of these figures. What was painting before takes suddenly another dimension, emerging from the canvas to become incarnate in a shape one can seize and handle like a companion."
By the way,
All prices are in the detail...
