Two New Collages with Ink
Mostly here I am experimenting trying out my new inks together with collage.
Collage
Listen: Harmony (New Monochromatic Collage)
Harmony is going on all the time; we’ve just got to listen for it.
The Child Within (New Conceptualist Painting)
It was fun painting this with its whimsy, gregarious splashiness, organic shapes with pops of color, like joyously blowing bubbles while singing and skipping.
A Summer Picnic (A New Large Abstract Collage)
A conceptualist work, it was fun to paint this sunny, lemonade filled picnic.
Life is a Collage (New Poem by Polly Castor with Artwork)
Your scraps define you, so take care to use only the shards you like, but more it is how you put them together.
Long Lake Artist-in-Residency Day 5 (Second Painting Finished)
I completed four paintings enough to give a presentation about my work in front of a great audience.
Collage Elements (Mark Making #4)
Continuing in the mark making series, I will now explore collage as elements of mark making.
Nine Black and White 8″x8″ Collages
As someone who is so devoted to color, I feel it is important in my work to eliminate it from time to time to explore and develop other things like composition, movement, value relationships, and structure.
Three New Abstract Landscape Compositions
I gave myself a themed exercise to paint three abstract landscapes with just the horizon line as the compositional element.
My One Woman Show Opens at the Essex Public Library
My one woman show has opened in the Essex, Connecticut Public Library this week. If you are in the area, check it out before the end of July! All the artwork is abstract, and includes both paintings and collages.
Qi (New Abstract Conceptualist Collage)
Qi is an indispensable word to Scrabble and Words with Friends players as the only two letter word with a q. But what it means is also cool: “the vital life force that flows through a body.”
