Did she spit on the paintbrush, or what exactly was it? I think there was some sort of physical encounter (was she the one that got Joni's chewing gum off the mike stand maybe?) ;-) Sorry if I didn't respond at the time, but I'm generally in one of my silent periods just now (not that you'd necessarily know from my sporadic outbursts on Facebook). I'm just too freakin' lazy to respond to a lot of stuff, (typing is just SOOOOOO haaaaard, daaarling), and sometimes feel that I talk too much and want other people to step up. I like this woman's stuff, from what I see online. I do see a bit of similarity with Joni's stuff, maybe around the Mingus era, when she was more abstract. Joni's stuff is a bit more realist generally, I guess. On the other hand, there is this theory that art or music or whatever of the artistic kind is kind of just "there" (in the air maybe? winging its way through the cosmos?) and that certain people are there at the right time and place that just manage to catch it. Not sure how true that might be but often artistic types don't really know how ideas or songs or art comes to them; it just does. To a certain extent, I think that might be true. Graham Nash spoke about how he observed that Joni, when she was writing songs, seemed to be in a trance. If so, then maybe someone's DNA (or vibes?) could possibly pass on to someone else who was in the same neighbourhood, either literally or not. Boom! Zing! Catch it if you can! That probably sounds crazy, but sometimes I get feelings or ideas that I think are original and not at all bad, and have absolutely no idea where they come from and I think that might be a bit like what happens with some artists, maybe all of them, who knows? I figure if I had paid more attention to that and focussed on it a bit, then maybe I coulda been a contendah. On the other hand, I could also be completely full of shit. I think that, to be an artist, it's generally necessary to be a loner, especially for women since many of us got caught up in the traditions of our time and culture, and did things we were expected to do, like marry and have kids, and we lost track of the muse while we were doing homey things. I've gotten off track but, if question is interesting, at least I think so. If people didn't respond, I think we've all gone a bit flat lately. >________________________________ > From: Lori Fye >To: joni@smoe.org >Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2012 5:19:15 PM >Subject: Re: New paintings with actual Joni content > >Can I request a little bit of feedback?

Is it the Joni style , > or Joni helped paint the art , or did she daub her signature finger on your > painting ? And on which picture ? Hi Paulie, Here is what I wrote in my orignal post: "I learned the other day that Nicole attended a Joni concert in the UK in 1983 or so, and she happened to finish Joni's cup of weak black tea with honey and lemon. Nicole doesn't even like tea with honey and lemon, but wouldn't you finish Joni's cup of tea if you had the chance? (I would.) Nicole still has that cup, and she's been using it ever since to dip her brushes in water as she paints." So ... pretty much all of Nicole's paintings were done with brushes dipped in that cup. Not sure about her sketches, as I don't know if she dips her pencils or pens into the cup. :-) Lori ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #1034 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
