Oct. 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 at Frog Level Brewing is the Waynesville Habitat for Humanity Auction. I’ve donated another 
one in this series which are called Dahlia. Our Restore sells these fine quality plywood circles. I’ve used acrylics and black enamel. The circle is 8.5 inches across.
Scrutinize
I was working on this along with Searching. Scrutiny is a synonym of the word search, and this Eye Wonder is in the same theme.
Searching
The news is filled with people searching for missing loved ones. I don’t want to imagine what they are going through. I am continuing on the Eye Wonder series, and this one is influenced by the uncertainties of searching.
Really special occasions
I worked on unique greeting cards through the winter. You can send it to a loved one, or mat and frame it for yourself! A selection is at Art on Depot in Waynesville.
Black corrugated plastic board
You know the yard signs for realtors and politicos? This is the same material, only black. The paint sticks okay, but scratches off easily. I’ve used latex paint samples from Lowes, dripped enamel, gold craft paint and some acrylics. This is a step in the ongoing Eye Wonder series.
Recyled plastic sign board
I primed this plastic sign board. You can see how the brush skipped across the corrugations. The paint doesn’t stick perfectly, but this was a stab at loosening up after the Eye Wonder series. The self portrait was pretty straight forward, but the addition of the enamel drips is working nicely.
I like these women!
They don’t look important enough to add to a grant application, but I find them coming along when I need them. Today,s new discovery was wiping acrylic over the enamel drips. Previous faces were tinted with pastels.
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.
Words
I’ tried some words in the manner that I did the Eye Wonder faces. Don’t know where these will go, but I’m pleased with the start!
Thanks to everyone for their support for my show Sunday. It was fun!
The eyes have it!
Getting ready for the Open House Sunday. There will be food, so take a nice drive into the country and check it out!
