New Paintings!!
Spent a wonderful weekend painting. Worked on doing abstracts from the canes that I make for my jewelry work. It was a very interesting process and one that i plan to continue to explore. The canes are mostly abstract anyway and give me a good jumping off point for the paintings. I found that I am using many of the same approaches to the paintings that I do in the jewelry work. I love building form and shape from color. I have a natural inclination to certain shapes like pods, stalks, circles, etc. I feel like there are some pretty cool paintings yet to be done!
I can't wait to get painting again!
"geocircles," acrylic on canvas, 28 x 36
"from the deep" acrylic on canvas, 6 x 10
"deep in the bones" acrylic on canvas, 28 x 36
This painting is from the journey series that I had been working on a while ago. I never knew till this weekend how to finish the painting. I realized that it needed more of an "ending" and added the bleached white sticks around the edges to represent bones. I am happy with how it turned out. It has many meanings to me and I hope to others as well.
Gearing up for Show Season!
Getting all my ducks in a row for the busy time of year and happy with all the new and colorful pieces I will have out for sale. Also doing a revamp of the YIKES! show display and the web site! No one said this would be easy but i love it. I look forward to seeing all my returning and many new customers this summer.
