Horseback

A girl on a paint pony galloped by my studio window.  Spring break in the country!4-8-10

Title

I know all the COOL artists title their work before they start.  Soooo4-7-10 together.  Which may explain my struggle.  I have spirals and the Earth, but no pithy title.

Spring

Thru the winter I worked in acrylics because I have a propane heater.  It does NOT like fumes!  I believe I’ve learned enough to no longer be afraid of them, but I will go back to oils until next winter.  I continue to explore spirals as well.  I’ve moved away from helixes.  There are lots of different kinds of spirals.4-6-10

spirals

These are acrylics.  I’m getting more used to them.  I’m using the spiral as a symbol of life, like DNA.3-31-10a3-31-10b

Ah, vacation.

I have a studio in San Antonio, so that brings my total to 3!  For years I had none.  Cosmic payback?  I worked on drawing and collage.3-28-10

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
