snowed in, again

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 in Uncategorized by susan

This is ridiculous!  You’d think we were still in Chicago!  I AM getting a lot of work done, but I would love to be able to drive to town when I want to.

I’ve tried paintingIcy DrivewayTree of Life my driveway, not in western perspective, but flat like African art.  However I’ve put the mountain in “correctly”.  To get all of the snow you’d think I’d just paint it titanium white, w/ a black ribbon for the road.  There was a lot of color in the River, so I tried it.  Now I have to wait for it to dry enuf to add in some white hightlights.  Also, the light is very different when it’s snowing, than when the sun comes out.  THAW!  I’ll make the rest up!  More on the Tree of Life.

killed it

I added a lot more paint to the top of the tree, with the painting upside down.  So there will be drip marks flowing “up”.  I also added a little space ship w/ a solar array.   When this dries enuf, I will highlight some areas.3-1-10

I think I’m “just before” killing this painting.  I don’t know what’s bothering me.  Maybe I was foolish to try such and odd ratio.  This is not the golden mien!2-27-10

“View of the Parking Garage”

I did a series called “Corporate Clones”.  Most were collages.  I found this one when I was cleaning the studio.  It was thin, so I added some paint.

edges

I got off axis from this panel to show the edges I painted.  I was going to go w/ flat black edges, but the other panels look good with the wraparound.2-25-10

trying acrylics

My FC studio has a propane heater and I can’t use oils when it’s lit.  I got to work there today.  These are two 30″ panels.  I don’t know whether the doors will warp, but I put the paint on in washes.  I really like the effect.  I know I will put more paint on them, but maybe I can save some of the wash areas.  The color is so delicate, and the panel is not.2-24-10

top heavy

I’m more excited about the spirals, I don’t know why.  This is going the right way, but as I post this I notice that all the spirals at the top are the same width.  Break it up!2-22-10

Hugh was trying to help get wi fi in my studio.  We went home for lunch.  His cell would only stay connected if he made himself a human antenna.  Ah, the joys of country living!Hugh, human antenna

Yeah! Sunshine!
