Stephen, thanks! I think I found your blog because of a Google search on artist blogs/gouache. It's relatively new to me and I wanted something a little more opaque than watercolor to play with. It's an interesting medium. I certainly don't wield it as wonderfully as you. :-)
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
My mailbox contained a wonderful treat on Friday...a lovely gelatin monotype by artist, Martha Marshall . Gelatin Monotype by Martha Marshall My collection of other artist's small works is growing and I'm delighted that this piece is included. I'll be making some monotypes in the near future and Martha will choose one to complete our trade - love doing that!
Wow, very cool! I love what you are doing with gouache, too. Especially the red and black ones. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI love these. Especially #2. I really like what you're doing with gouache too. I use it all the time and it's my favorite paint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karine! :-)
