The piece I made today turned out amazing. I used two pages from some encyclopedias and did some free hand paper cuts on them with an exacto knife. Then I painted a blue/purple background in watercolor and layered everything. There is so much movement to this piece. I think I will hang it on my wall for a while.
"Under The Sea" Watercolor and paper cut mixed media, 9x10.5 inches, 2014.

I made a little piece of interactive art for you all today. Here is a crazy maze for you to solve, if you want. Follow the path under the tunnels to the end. See the arrow at the bottom of the page? That's where you start. You end on the left side of the page. Don't cross the double lines. If you click on the picture you can download a PDF of the maze to print and solve if you like. Good Luck!
Today I am only giving you a sneak peak at the new painting I made today. I am applying to the Wild Woman Show "Luck Be a Lady" at the River Gallery in Independence, OR with this piece. I am crossing my fingers that they accept me. If I am accepted I will reveal this piece at that show. If I am not accepted then I will reveal it here next week.
Wish me luck! "Queen of Clovers" Watercolor and India Ink, I just realized I never actually "clicked" publish on this blog post for yesterday...oops. This piece was an idea I had last year and had written down in a journal to paint one day. I wanted skeletons holding the frame of an umbrella in the rain that is broken down to it's molecule. "Element" Watercolor, ink and acrylic on archival paper,
Three little drawings came into exhistence this evening. An owl, a queen bee and some shapes. These were created after a long day of working on a larger art project and dealing with real life affairs. This mosaic is a sneak peak at one of the things I have been been up to for the past 3 days. I hope to finish and reveal it tomorrow. My art for today was created on a hike with my boys at Silver Falls State Park. I wanted to spend the last day of Maurice's winter break totally focused on him. That meant getting out of the house and having some fun and a change of scenery. I packed a lunch and our art supplies and we headed to the falls with the intention of making this an art hike. We did more art-ing than hiking.
These are the three pages I did from my sketch book. The boys also drew the falls and a windy path. It was a lovely day with no fighting or screaming. We got to enjoy nature on a cold sunny day and the company of each other. I need to do this more often.
I was just doing some post feasting Facebook trolling and stumbled upon Fresh Ghost's post about his piece of art he is giving away for free! There is a project going on right now called "Flood the Streets with Art!" for Black Friday 11-29-13! " Leave a piece of art created by your heart & soul on the street as a random act of kindness. While all of the crazy shopper zombies are fighting over $9 shower radios at their local big box store, do this instead. Do the OPPOSITE of that. 2,400+ artists all over the globe can't be wrong. - SCOTT. (https://www.facebook.com/events/555191127888779/)"
So in the spirit of this anti-black-friday-pro-free-art-fun-idea I am going to be giving away this bee painting! Anguiano Art and I will be dropping our art off somewhere in downtown Salem, Oregon. I hope if you are out in the craze you take the time to look for one of these handmade treasures! To see more visit https://www.facebook.com/FreeArtFridayWI?hc_location=timeline |
