ABSTRACT TUESDAY...

 Here
is where i've been!
Immersed
in paint, dots, stripes, circles and other designs.
 
 
 
 
 Another
LABOR OF LOVE!
 
i start out thinking (or not thinking)
what a different task/delight
a large painting involves.
 
 
 
 i have decided now on this journey...
that i enjoy both small and large works.
it's good to come to this place in my
artwork.
EVERY
PAINTING
teaches me much,
small or LARGE.
and the HIGH it leaves is most rewarding!
BUT
that goes on during the entire stint.
UP and DOWN...
 
The words in the MIDDLISH...
"We are mosaics,
pieces of
LIGHT
LOVE
STARS
Glued together with
MAGIC ~ MUSIC ~ & WORDS"
 
i could not find the person who said this, but it is a quote and it isn't mine ;)
 
24" x 36" x 2"
gallery wrapped canvas
 
i am making a new body of work for the Artwalk
in June.
 
TOTALLY TUESDAY !!!

one of my favorite markings
are these that look similar to a sewing stitch...
using,
a sewing wheel (old fashioned roller thingy used over carbon paper for patterns)

GROWTH and life's TREASURES...

 I've been patiently
and not so patiently
working off and on.
taking it slow,
not rushing one bit.
 
 
 
 
 on these same 3 large pieces, still.
they change every day!
sometimes to the extreme.
and then I realize over and over
what other artists and teachers mean by
DON'T GET ATTACHED while layering.
I have covered EVERYTHING that I thought I would keep,
and it is all turning out so marvelous,
and SURPRISING.
GROWTH!!!
LESSONS, HUMOR, DEEPNESS.
That's just what it's all about and I am loving it so.
 art is so very
parallel
and
integrated
within our lives,
especially when we like it this way.
ENHANCEMENT
ENRICHMENT
again...
GROWTH ;)
Our nearest nesters this spring.
they are so darling.
this is a pair of finches.
they both sit on the eggs,
they both stand guard.
and this one captured on our outdoor camera...
the male is feeding the female, ahh ;)
 
HAPPY WEEKEND
XOXO

HAPPY SPRING COLORS...

All of these shots
 
 
 
 are just one small portion
 
 
 
of each painting.
running between each, while one or the other were drying ;)
 
 
1 large canvas
1 medium canvas
and
smallest 12" x 12" x 2" wrapped canvas
 
i just ran out of steam after painting and inking
all morning long...
HOPING
to find a second wind!
BUT,
it is GORGEOUS outside and the birds and sunshine are calling me.
MAYBE
i'll be back tomorrow.

APRIL FOOLS DAY...

 i was working on a little collage last night...
and then i closed my eyes and added the black
with a rigger brush.
when i opened my eyes i saw this little critter
taking shape on the left, adding an eye and a
piece of collage paper on it's face.
this morning i woke up and saw the second
loving face and shall add a little pair of ears
tomorrow.
 
 
 
 
SERENDIPITY
ON
APRIL FOOLS DAY!
 
HAPPY WEEKEND ALL!
