    Don't you like this small format? I like how you have added words to your collage. I was think of using stamps too. They look nice with the frame around them. How did you do that?

    Hi Carla, thanks for stopping by and commenting. :-)

    I love small works-on-paper for my experiments and play -- which this blog is mostly for. By using a small size and paper as the support, it allows me feel free to just try stuff and not feel too precious about the end result. On my main artwork, the oil paintings, things are much more planned.

    The "frame" you see on these pieces are just the white space on the Stonehenge paper I've left surrounding the image. Considering how much I use the stuff should buy stock in Stonehenge's 8" x 8" paper pads. :-)

36 Droplets

I like seeing them as a large group - they seem to make more sense that way than as individual rain drops. Can't wait to see all 100 together, although just seeing them as images will have to do. I doubt I could ever afford to frame all 100 and even if I did, what would I do with them? Most of my works-on-paper are put into my works-on-paper binders, and occasionally I thumb through them like a child rummaging through the odd assortment of baubles in a hidden treasure chest. These are my personal artistic obsession and not really meant for commercial purposes (monotypes excepted), so I'll entertain myself by grouping them here on my blog.  To date, there are 75 completed Days of Rain. I will continue to post them until the rainy season comes to end.
