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.
Hats
The Fine Ladies “made” their hats for an afternoon tea. This is a painting, not a portrait of a lady or a hat. I’m still struggling with acrylics. Here’s a chapter of that struggle.
Muse of Democracy
I’m not sure what the job of my 21st century muses is, but everybody’s getting new titles and job descriptions. The board is round. Democracy is hard work.
