As bad as 2011 was for us financially, I’m more confident in my painting. So I expect each and every one of you to buy a painting in 2012. And I expect the US govt. to work. RIIIIGHT!
2012 Better be better!
Iris
This is for the Master Gardner’s show. I’m getting better at acrylics.
Master gardners garden
Do you see a stream with rocks and ferns? It’s a good start.
flame azaleas
I’m doing some paintings for the Master Gardners show. This is acrylic on gessoed paper.
Acrylic washes
I am impressed with the color subtlety from these washes. Some of the paints are murky and don’t make good washes, but this red did.
paper
This is one of the photos from the Master Gardners. HCAC is hosting a show of artworks based on various gardens. I started this on gessoed paper as a sketch. The washes are interesting. I’m using acrylics, which I still contend with.
Prodigal cat
She’s been walkabout.
color fields
I’m still struggling w/ acrylics. This is an effort to loosen up.
not a giraffe
If someone did this to a giraffe, it would be BAAAD!
Grids
The QR codes are grid, as are the crossword puzzles I do every day. A grid is a human imposition on nature. The white squares are mat board, one inch squares, glued to the painting. We will see where we go from here!
