This started as an abstract color field painting. The peony just butted in!
Peonies
Tangled Web
This painting if of a Cereus, an outrageous red bloom. A flower that is about 8 inches across. I may not have captured the light coming through the leaves, but I did show
a human imposition on nature, the grid pattern. This painting is currently on display at Art On Depot. The tangled web was that my website was down last night as Lunar Pages had technical difficulties. We can ignore nature and our environment, but when it doesn’t work, we will be scrambling.
In progress
I’m still working on mastering acrylic paints, instead of them mastering me! The eye is from the Eye Wonder series idea, of observing (and wondering what I can do about it?).
Back to painting
What is painting? This is acrylic on canvas, with enamel drips. The Eye Wonder series are on paper, 8″x10″, with enamel drips. The series leaves lots of room for creativity for me, and the format is convenient for all of your framing needs. The questions about the unpredictability of living, and drippy paint, remain. The materials have been changed, to protect who? Canvas, paper, words, eyes, cats, barns, salamanders. Sure as you’re born you’re never gonna see a unicorn, unless an artist makes it.
Back to the Studio!
The drip paintings are morphing. I think I’ll make some into unique greeting cards. Open House Sept.22!
The eyes have it
I am not studying eyes, obviously. They are a symbol, a holder of emotions. Is anger pink and greed black? Does Mr. Potato Head have his angry eyes?
Women wondering
I have pushed my series “Eye Wonder” . Now I am adding collage and words to the dripped/streamed paintings.
I opened an Etsy store under my name, if you would like to see more of the “Eye Wonder” series.
Whole Bloomin’ Thing is Sat.
Do you have a spot for a round piece of art. Check out my abstract Dahlia. Or how about a salamander. My booth will be in front of Art on Depot. I’ve made a deal with my brother in TX. Sat. he gets the rain and I get the sun!
Dahlia
This round background lends itself to a dense circular bloom, the dahlia. They come in all colors and sizes. Remember, t
his is a painting, not a living flower.
A square muse
Most of the Modern Muse series have been on round pieces of plywood. This one, unnamed at this time, snuck in. The squares refer to QR codes.
