I got a new latex enamel paint. I was working on this painting, and thought the enamel would be an addition. Eye wonder what the doctor will say about my platelets, tomorrow. This health scare has certainly interrupted my momentum in the studio! One lesson, time’s a wastin’!
Enamel dripping continues.
I’ve tried a set of cats. What do you think? This may go under shameless commerce, the Open House is coming up. But I think this is unique. And there are more cat lovers than people that will buy the Eye Wonder series. A bit of good news today. More platelets, than less. Still a long way to go.
Imagine Peace
Kinda hard to do right now.
Back to the Studio!
The drip paintings are morphing. I think I’ll make some into unique greeting cards. Open House Sept.22!
Eye Wonder continues
Before I went into the hospital, I had experimented with dripping words. Because of those starts, I had something to work on today, instead of trying to start flat footed. I think this may work into a handmade greeting card. Save the date, Sun. Sept. 22 for my art sale! Any proceeds will go to pay my medical bills. Thanks!
More of the Eye Wonder Series
The series continues. The dripped underpainting gives me a wealth of ideas on what each of these gals is wondering about.
The week that was.
Last Wed. I ended up in the Emergency Room. After 3 1/2 days in the hospital, I missed the Fines Creek Bluegrass Jam, and I have to raise money to pay my deductible and other expenses. Thank goodness Gregg’s insurance covers most of my costs. I will be hosting an open house/ Christmas sale on Sunday, Sept. 22 from 1-5pm at my studio at 190 Fines Creek Rd. I have notecards, and prints, as well as originals of all sizes. I also welcome any appointments! My prognosis is good, an autoimmune reaction to a virus which can be treated with steroids.
Black and White
The Eye Wonder series is about serendipity, a nice word for the weird stuff that happens to us. Most of my work is an explosion of color, but this white enamel on white paper was an interesting surprise. A black Sharpie pen was used to outline the white enamel. The letters and words are random, mostly.
Thanks to the Hammett clan for including me in their picnic last night. We were done before the thunderstorm hit. It was a doozy!
So
This is a detail of “So” from the Eye Wonder series. This was a very different approach, with the collage in the glasses being the first stage. The enamel drips came later, and Sharpie pen for the final. These female figures tap into some of my worries and insecurities.
Collage first
The Eye Wonder series continues to explore ways to depict eyes or eyeglasses. This one, nameless so far, started with the collage, and then the enamel was dripped. The collage has been highlighted with an orange Sharpie pen.
See previous posts for other approaches. We are planning on making a You-Tube video about the process. Hopefully we can show the real way creativity takes place in my studio, by guess or by golly! If we can find the parts to the camera, and the editing software
