I’m going to have to give up on gessoed paper. It buckles too much, and I’m putting more energy into it. I think I’ll work on unstretched canvas. I’ve done that, before, but not for a while. Anyway, this is todays painting progress.
New Year, thank goodness!
I’m experimenting with Yupo paper, a polypropolene water media paper. Mine are 9″x12″. I used masking tape on the corner, to plywood. I’ll have white corners when I’m finished. May
be under a mat, or a feature ( when you’re hiding a mistake, call it a feature!) This has been an incredibly wet season, and part of our yard has slid down the mountain. What a big problem. So maybe that’s why this piece looks stormy and foreboding.
Map
This is the beginning of a painting on paper. Sometimes they are part of the process to a larger work. I feel like this is the map that’s governing my life and our govt. now. Chaotic, mindless, and just maybe, heading somewhere.
Disruption
I identified with the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. She said it disrupted her life for years. This is about my personal disruption.
Thankful for
Lots of things, but getting a new hip was MEGA. The pain was exhausting.
Climate Change
I believe it.
Cool
The Small Works Show is coming up in Nov. and Dec. at Haywood County Arts Council. This painting, acrylic on canvas, is 8″x10″ . It will be framed.
Disruption
I was thinking of this as a disruption from sexual assault. Then came two hurricanes. My hematologist is an oncologist also, and I see many people there with cancer. Disruptions happen. Some can be protested, most have to be lived through. This is a sketch on paper. I’m not much of a draftsman, more of an interest in color.
Small Works in Nov. & Dec.
I do not normally work small but I continue to support the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) by participating in this show that runs Nov. and Dec. The recent large works that I have done about damage to our environment have moved down to these 8″x10″ canvases.
Assault Fault
Excuse the hell out of us for being women and having breasts.
