Wednesday Mish Mash

Ok here's the second post of the year. I'm about to run out but am trying to get a foothold into keeping up with blogging and being optimistic about making art and the future. I do a lot of work that I never post. But also I post a lot of things that are different so sometimes I wonder if it's a mish mash. I can't seem to follow the "focus on one thing" suggestion due to the fact that I have so many varied interests but .. gallery's like bodies of work. So .. perhaps I just need to pick a theme... I'll be mulling that over. This is something that I experimented with a few months back but wasn't sure that I was finished with it. I still have a lot of trees left in me but I really love roots and rocks and rust and this painting below is a combination of those ideas although there aren't any real root feelings here .. but I did take rusted cotton and glue it with clear acrylic and then painted a variety of organic shapes on top. I worked on it for a while but then just got to the point that I wasn't sure it was finished or not. So I've had it sitting on a bookshelf where I can look at it from time to time. So .. I may add more things but I may not .. So here it is. The top photo is the whole painting which is about 11 x 14 and the bottom photo is just a detail of the lower left corner. Thanks for looking. Now I'm off to help daughter. Ps. You know now that I see this here maybe I'll just do a series of these. Where does the time go?

  4. When I first opened this page, I didn't see Klimt or feel any reference to another painting(er).
    I saw one of those rocks (geodes?) that one finds in science museums...you know the ones, they're cut in 1/2 and the light can shine through so you see all the crystals, fractures, layers.
    This is BEAUTIFUL.

  5. Hullo dear Tammy! Your work is so very interesting. For me it is great to be back to normal life and blogging again. Yes I wonder whether having a theme just for your blogging would work for you? I enjoy your posts as they are however I think I know what you are referring to on a personal level. So glad you post at all! All the very best for this year. Gilly
