So much pollen this spring!

Painting as I see it.
So much pollen this spring!
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.
Yupo seems good for monoprints. I did this series on problems from climate change. This one is called Consequences.
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.
I’m learning meditation. I have seen benefits, but I still have a long way to go!
Our front yard has slid, been repaired, and is sliding again. And of course it’s raining! This canvas is about not having control. There are bits of charcoal embedded in the paint.
This is used mostly for watercolors. I use acrylics. Then I abuse it, spraying with water and scraping. I am not a fussy painter, and this stuff seems to want to play.
This is a self portrait on an experimental ground. I added bits of charcoal. I was annoyed with the lack of maintenance on the building that my studio is in. Thank goodness, the toiIets work again. I
think this is a pretty accurate description of my frustration.
Needless to say, this is about some different things.
I started this last summer. I used silver Sharpie to highlight storm clouds, but it bothered me. I added more paint.
