more INCH portraits...
i decided to add a little collage...
to avoid going mad over a bit of repetition in
some ways, wanting to continue learning,
from others as well as from INSIDEME ;)
i discovered a most interesting man's work
Oswaldo Guayasamin
Ecudorian painter, 1919-1999
some of his work is Picasso-like and some not
but i am intrigued...
and gave this one and the one above a whirl
while copying.
i made huge discoveries that would probably bore everyone to death,
as to what this artist pointed out to me!
and of course didn't do him justice...
inside my head came this one while attempting Oswaldo's...
feeling very playful and letting the whim enter in!
ALWAYS...this makes new discoveries and ideas for future paintings...
after doing these "miniatures" i am ready to go back to LARGER sized!
a face lift for this sweetie...
that i am not sure i posted awhile back...
she's crackled and aged looking ;)
another little touch up and transformation
for this sweetie...
i WAS getting ready for our Auburn Artwalk, but am running ragged in all good ways...so i shan't be able to pull it off this go round.
i had some knee surgery that went exceptionally well, better than expected by all, drs. and myself!
i can't exactly run around, but will sooner than soon, and am happy i made it through to this side, and gratitude exploded within myself that i can climb our stairs to my studio, hobble around and able to do some art work!!!
HAPPY SATURDAY FRIENDS!!!
XOXO
Good afternoon Wanda Miller! Well, every time I come to your art gallery here, I am always moved to ideas. I belong to a woman's art traveling journal and I just got the journal in the mail so I can get started. I know what I want to do, but to have the time and the medium to put it in! Thank you so much for coming by, always with kind words and encouraging! Today on Saturday, I had to attend a teacher meeting! ARGH! Though it was very uplifting since I see education as an opportunity for CREATIVITY, I really wanted to spend time in my studio writing, finishing up a paper mâché mini cake for a friend, and then start on this project.
ReplyDeleteYou CAN purchase a paper copy of the magazine! When you go to the link, you go to HPMACLOUD. There you can see that there is a button to buy the digital version OR the printed copy.
Thank you again dear friend for coming by. Wishing you a fabulous Sunday! OH, and like always, your art here is well done, happy and SO FUN! Anita
What a nice post!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your blog and creativity ( :
As always I'm always interested in what you are painting and sharing. You do paint with abandon. I of course would not be bored to death to know your huge discovereis while studying Guayasamin. Haven't checked him out yet.
ReplyDeleteMost of all congrats on your successful surgery.
So happy to see you back posting again. Recovery for you is FAST. I didn't think it would take you long to get back to your studio, but I did think it would be longer than ONE day. Holy cow..YOU are incredible!! YAY!!! I'm doing a happy dance over here for you. You will be doing one soon enough..no worries about you being back on your feet, and doing a little jig reallllll soon. xoxo Love you!! I got your email, and will reply probably tomorrow..this is just a quick love note. xoxo mwah!!
