Laying Out A Collage

 A commission I just completed.  The beginning on the left. The finished product on the right.

 Lettering that the client requested has been blurred out.

New Additions to Studio 8.  Sweet little pins for only $$10 each.

All one of a kind.  Happy and fun.

I've finished for the most part my new printmaking studio at Art Mundo.  

A tiny closet under the stairs, way in the back of The Underground near the back door.

The location includes 5 other studios, big and small.

We call the space "The Studios Back Under".

It's a new space with good energy.  Grand opening on the December 11 Art Walk.

Painted Paper Collage Workshop At Vero's Center For Spiritual Care

A wonderful workshop at Vero Beach's Center For Spiritual Care.  The workshop was held in conjunction with an exhibit of my work, which will remain up until December 20, 2013.

Bowls!

My first firing in my kiln!  Still and forever, probably, working on my 

knowledge of glazes.  There were some great surprises, some not so great.

It's all about the learning, though and I'll do my best to remember what I did

on the ones I like so I can perhaps revisit them in new form!

Painted Paper, The Addiction!

I've discovered that besides being fun, painting paper

is an emotional release.  It doesn't require a "subject".

THE PRESSURE IS OFF!  Ha!

It's just a play between, patterns, color and style.

When at this play, worrisome thoughts melt away and the sheer joy

of making marks, picking pleasing color combinations

& "aha-ing" to the next bit of paper and paint take center stage.

Painted paper on the studio table.  

The drama.

The shapes and colors.

Aha! The beginning of inspiration. 

FUN.

Spinners

It's sometimes the simplest things that delight the most.  

A bit of wood, a circle of cardboard.

Paints, colored pencils, markers . . .

The magic of simple kinetics.

Join me at Art Mundo for a couple of hours of simple fun

creating and playing with spinners.

Check here for the schedule to this and other fun, creative classs.  

If it isn't quite there yet, check again later.  It will be.
