I’ve been working on these. The foam flower has given me the most trouble! The praying mantis’s have been interesting. One is on two canvases, the swath down the middle is the mounting board, not part of the painting. The other one is on a panel. So far, I struggle more with acrylic on canvas, than on panels. But the canvases were just sitting there!
Too Bad
This hummingbird was not successful.
A Good Marriage
Architecturally when walls made of different materials are joined, it is called a marriage. This screen- oil on two panels, depicts a log wall meeting a hand stacked stone fire place. See this piece in the window at Art On Depot in Waynesville.
Crumpled grid
Superstorm Sandy knocked out one quarter of the power grid and communications. I’ve been working on the idea of Modern Muses on these round pieces. Maybe this is the throw down between Mother Nature and Calliope, the Muse of Communication.
Quilt Square
The Dead Man in the Creek quilt square was delivered by Kay Miller on Fri. July 15. This is the second work of public art in Fines Creek. The first is the War Memorial. All communities benefit from public art.
I’ll try to post.
I post on two computers, laptop and desktop, and WordPress is NOT HAPPY. Or I have a scummy virus, thanks A…holes. Anyway, the Gorgon may lose her post it notes. They were entirely toooo cheerful.
Gorgon
I found these round pieces of plywood at the Habitat Resale shop. I also ran across and idea in an old journal of the Muses. So I have nine rounds and I’m referring to the 21st century muses. Polyhymnia is the muse of womanly things, but thinking of how to live on 77 cents on a dollar, with the cost of necessities not the least bit easier on the female side, the muse had become a Gorgon. The kids encyclopedia’s from the library on snakes was both cool and CREEPY. Thanks to the Fines Creek Branch of the Haywood Public Library.
April Showers
I started on this in March, an observation of the coming of spring. With the storms of late, the dark block in the upper left is a reference to a QR code, or a thunderstorm.
April Showers
Even tho it isn’t April yet, the drips on this panel made me think of showers. The blocks interrupt the flow of the paint. Humans aren’t very successful at controlling nature, especially the weather.
Doesn’t Grow on Trees
Round has been interesting.
