Thanks Carla! They are still pretty crude (not that that's a bad thing) but I'm just loving the entire concept of the circle of life thingy: lumber, paper, recycled paper, burn, art (for better or worse). I'll get better at it, but not too much I hope. I like the rawness. Thank you for your comments!
I've got a solo show coming up in January 2013 at Abend Gallery in Denver. I'll post the exact dates as soon as they are nailed down. Abend has represented my oil paintings for a few years now and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to show my newest work there. That means that posting here might get much more sporadic over the next six months. These little ones are the things I make between paintings or as part of my daily practice. They aren't for commercial purposes per se, but I love them nonetheless. Hopefully in the rush to complete my main work, I'll still get time to post here. If you are interested to see my main work, here's the link to my portfolio website, click here .
Isn't it wonderful! This piece was created by U.K. artist, Andy Parkinson , and was included in the 2012 6" x 6" exhibit at the Rochester Contemporary Arts Center and when I came across the piece,. I just had to have it. It's so vibrant and cheery and just makes me happy. Quickweave by Andy Parkinson, 6" x 6", Highlighter on Paper
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.
Oh I really like this one. Perfect balance of texture, lines, space - all those things.
