Another 12×12 painting in my Colors and Lines series. This one is very much inspired by the windy fall weather we’ve been having. It’s also my entry for Day 13 of Art Every Day Month, November 2011. It’s acrylic paint and india ink on paper.
More fun with the colors and lines paintings! 12×12 inches on paper, just like the others. This has some wonderful purple and turquoise colors. Detail images are below.
I just love this one! I guess I’m supposed to say that about all of them, but I really like this one. I used several layers of paint so that the colors have a lot of depth. The ink has made such interesting shapes; the whole thing is very satisfying. This is again 12×12 inches […]
Now this one is just slightly different. After painting the colors and dripping on the ink, I added another layer of paint on top, and then more ink. You can see the first layer of ink just peeking through the paint in several places, but especially in the lower right. I really like how it […]
I’m like a kid in a candy store with these paintings! I can’t get enough of them. This is painted again on pre-printed scrapbooking paper that has been printed with a larger dot pattern. You can see some of the dots in the upper left, ever so faintly. I gessoed the paper, then painted the […]
Oh, am I having fun with these! I love the ink against the colors. This one is painted on a 12×12 inch piece of scrapbooking paper. I bought a big stack of paper, the kind that’s pre-printed with stripes and swirls and plaids. This piece is printed red with tiny white dots. You can see […]
See the previous “Colors and Lines” post for the backstory here. This one is painted in cool shades of green, with bits of red, yellow, white, and pink. The black form was made by dropping India Ink on the paper and blowing through a drinking straw to push the ink around. It’s formed these wonderful […]
Recently, I was doing some collages and wanted a way to add a fine dark line element to them. Something that looked like it was drawn but not so…controlled…as a line drawn with graphite or pen. So, being a former seamstress, I fired up the old sewing machines and ran some free-form lines of stitching […]
This small collage had me thinking of a typical morning in Marc – sun coming up through the cold air, trees still bare, and the snow melting into gray slushy piles. This is 6×4 inches and is made of various papers with a few lines of top stitching.
During the 2010 election campaign, I got so much literature from people running for office – it was piled up in my mailbox, hung on my door, scattered in my landscaping – that I got fed up with it. So I tore it all up and made a collage out of it. It is now […]
