This round piece of plywood was for sale at the Habitat store for $0.75. I couldn’t resist, but only got two. Now they’re gone. They came from speaker cabinets. I screwed it to the other board to work on it. The squares are mat board, to refer to QR codes. It isn’t taking the paint the way a flat surface would, so it’s hard to stay loose, when I keep running into edges. But as in oils, I do better when I keep adding paint. Now if I could only figure out how to get a pic on FB. I’m a Luddite on dial-up.
color fields
I’m still struggling w/ acrylics. This is an effort to loosen up.
Hybrid
I’m thinking about the impact of humanity on nature. We mess with it thru bioengineering, selective breeding and technological enhancements. The results are…mixed. The giraffe has intruded on my mind. I’ve used a QR code to “improve” the animal. Today is day one.
Book of Clones
I did a series of three collage paintings. They’re 7″x7″ because we cut a 2×8 into pieces. I stretched canvas over them. Most of the elements of this piece are experimental. They will be part of a show of my collages at the Haywood County Public Library in Nov.
September
Chicory, ironweed,
gentian, and goldenrod.
late summer wild flowers
There are so many shades of purple in our local wild flowers. Chicory, ironweed and gentian, with a dash of yellow from the goldenrod. You don’t see this combo in a city.
less cardinal
My impression this morning was of a Christmas Chicken, no Cardinal. When something’s not right, add more paint.
Holly and Cardinal
I want to abstract the cardinal.
more Vision
This puppy’s been hanging around for over a year. I saw an artist that used smudged fields of white, so I gave it a try. The lines thru the center of the iris are actual strands of monofilament that I poked thru the canvas.
Vision
I worked on this, some more.
