Thanks Jill. The note says to use these in my art, maybe collage. It’s almost Feb. but I felt like Christmas!
Progress on Blue Jay
I’m going to have to give up on gessoed paper. It buckles too much, and I’m putting more energy into it. I think I’ll work on unstretched canvas. I’ve done that, before, but not for a while. Anyway, this is todays painting progress.
Blue Jay Today
Donna gave me a bunch of bird magazines. The photos of the bluejays caught my eye. But we seldom see bluejays. From drawing to painting, this is not a bluejay.
New Year, thank goodness!
I’m experimenting with Yupo paper, a polypropolene water media paper. Mine are 9″x12″. I used masking tape on the corner, to plywood. I’ll have white corners when I’m finished. May
be under a mat, or a feature ( when you’re hiding a mistake, call it a feature!) This has been an incredibly wet season, and part of our yard has slid down the mountain. What a big problem. So maybe that’s why this piece looks stormy and foreboding.
Disruption
Everyone has disruption in life. After hearing Dr. Blasey Ford testify to her sexual assault, I realized I’d had something similar happen to me. I had repressed it, and always thought that the bad behavior of some men was my fault.
Climate Change
Climate Change isn’t just one thing. This painting may deal with the way Earth will look like from space.+
Map
This is the beginning of a painting on paper. Sometimes they are part of the process to a larger work. I feel like this is the map that’s governing my life and our govt. now. Chaotic, mindless, and just maybe, heading somewhere.
Disruption
I identified with the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. She said it disrupted her life for years. This is about my personal disruption.
Thankful for
Lots of things, but getting a new hip was MEGA. The pain was exhausting.
Climate Change
I believe it.
