Painting as I see it.
Memorial Day isn’t theoretical or hypothetical. It is about the real people who have served this country with honor. My father served in WWll and was wounded. There are so many more that are in my small sphere. The flags on the lawn are real. The painting, called Trumped Up Flag, is my disgust with the ……leader.
This series is exploring Yupo, a polypropelyne paper, that loves water. Since we’ve had double normal rainfall so far this year, it’s fitting to explore very wet paint, and monoprints. This is an off axis print, with more paint and pastels.
Yupo seems good for monoprints. I did this series on problems from climate change. This one is called Consequences.
Yupo is fun to work with. I made three prints off the original, and then painted back into them.
Two pcs. are translucent and two are white. I love the translucent ones held up to the light, but haven’t quite figured how to do that display. Anyway, the first received my wrath, I really laid into it, since I can’t affect who is annoying me. There was so much paint that it was oozy. Ever the miser, I tried my first monoprint, tho I guess technically they are tri_prints.
I’m learning meditation. I have seen benefits, but I still have a long way to go!
