Jill’s Gloves
A collage of gloves that have seen many winters.
Thoughts in Neon Green Dye
I go to a Meditation class at the Senior Resource Center. They always have boxes of stuff to give away. Usually it’s zucchini, or out of date potato chips. The time they had 5 bottles of Neon Green Dye, no one took them for weeks. I am invested in reusing and re-purposing, rather than throwing things away (where is away?) I have used this dye in nine experimental pieces, so far. The Senior Center is displaying four of the paintings.
Susana Lily in blue and orange
I painted
the same lily twice.
Flowers, again
Karen gave me some bulbs of the Susana Lily. It is brown with orange highlights. I used to paint a lot of flowers. I think this is not the same old thing.
Open Says Me
I am struggling with not being able to open things. Not just jars and tubes of paint. Yet, I find a way. This canvas was painted flat, on a ping pong table, not stretched and upright on an easel. There are not as many drips, and I think the edges are fuzzy, because the paint oozed over the canvas.
Discharge- first measure
Forrest said this painting reminded him of a musical score. He’s working on synth music. This part is about 3 ft. of a 15 ft. canvas. The canvas was made for photo printing. It buckles when it gets any moisture. I’ve enjoyed tussling with the ups and downs of this canvas.
Discharge- has many meanings
This is another painting on a word. It is a way for me to enter an abstract place that is color, lines, and now puckers. This is photo canvas that is 17 1/2″ wide, and comes on a roll. I’ve joined three pieces that are five feet, with duct tape. I don’t have a drone so the first photo is paralaxed. I’m working on an old pingpong table, plus a couple more. Today I was able to walk along and make continuous lines with charcoal. The moisture in the paint affects the pucker. Also, by working flat, the gravity pulls everything. I’m used to letting it pull on the drips when I work vertically. These panels may get a vertical treatment, or
not.
Discharge, like sneeze, fart, static electricity or a bomb.
Parents
Two canvases, a self portrait of us, not all parents.
Not a portrait
Jill took a wonderful photo of Donna and Charlie. That is a portrait. This painting is a remembrance. Thank you, Jill.
