Acrylic on translucent Yupo. Looks good attached to a window.
Re-emergence
My life feels like a broke ass ladder, emerging from the goo, one more time. Surely beats being stuck in the goo.
Patience
I am not patient, and I rush my paintings. But I’m getting better. I let this one “simmer” like soup. Then you taste it, adjust spices, and it is your soup. The title is Feel the Breath, tho in meditation I’m supposed to follow the breath.
Re-emergence continues
Trying to capture or glimpse a bit of my life, which took an unpleasant turn this week. I removed the block at the top of the ladder, and added more bent rungs. The fog is still too blue, I think. I have found Zinc White is more subtle than Titanium. But do I need subtle, or bold?
Re-emergence
I’ve been working on this large canvas for awhile. 46”x54”. I’ve been thru a lot of illness and pain for the last 6 years, and now I am better. I could tell you many things that are in here, but if explanation is necessary, I have not made a painting, yet.
Pollen
So much pollen this spring!
Climate Concern series- Melting
This series is exploring Yupo, a polypropelyne paper, that loves water. Since we’ve had double normal rainfall so far this year, it’s fitting to explore very wet paint, and monoprints. This is an off axis print, with more paint and pastels.
Another one of the prints
Yupo seems good for monoprints. I did this series on problems from climate change. This one is called Consequences.
Monoprints on Climate Change
Yupo is fun to work with. I made three prints off the original, and then painted back into them.
Two pcs. are translucent and two are white. I love the translucent ones held up to the light, but haven’t quite figured how to do that display. Anyway, the first received my wrath, I really laid into it, since I can’t affect who is annoying me. There was so much paint that it was oozy. Ever the miser, I tried my first monoprint, tho I guess technically they are tri_prints.
Feel the Breath
I’m learning meditation. I have seen benefits, but I still have a long way to go!
