It seems like it's been weeks since I was able to sit down with my paints and work on some art. Today I finally was able to work on some small collages and paintings. Here is one that I actually started last summer when I was experimenting with paint effects. Gradually I added to it, using collage and stencil, along with more paint, and marker. I can't seem to give up on a piece, even if I set aside for months, and do a little bit here and there with it, I keep hoping that eventually it will evolve into something I'm happy with. The enlarged leafy pattern on the bottom is actually from something I printed on my inkjet printer when it was really low on ink. I love the delicate colors. The words here come from a scrap of paper from some old notes, and a dress pattern. It's fun to see what happens with the words in collage. Sometimes I'm more intentional, and sometimes I just find the words as I look through my papers and scraps in a found poetry way.
Very nice painting. Sometimes it's hard to find the time to work on our art! :-)

ReplyDeleteI love the colors and shapes in this piece. You have more patience than me. I sometimes revisit unfinished pieces but usually can't seem to find a spark. I'm curious to see where this piece takes you! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love the layers & the colors!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really looks great. It is very hard to just stick to painting because there is so much "other" to do. Your work is looking great though. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe color combination is wonderful.

I really love your collages...to me they are so subtle and understated, like they are done with the full confidence that the viewer will find meaning in them of their own.
