Every Leaf Is Bliss To Me

Just posted a new painting to my etsy gallery: http://tinyurl.com/23sz5ub

In Process

Just needs to dry then it's finished!

Revolution Gallery

I decided since I'm having such a hard time doing festivals with just a Vespa for transportation....sigh, to find galleries to represent my work. My clocks are going to be available exclusively at Revolution Gallery at Gilman Village in Issaquah. They also have some of my cards and smaller paintings.

Smaller Squares

I'm playing with the idea of using smaller mdf squares with larger spaces between. I think it has possibilities. I could do texture on the canvas and then color on the small squares. Hmm....my mind spins..

Clocks

Great news. One of the galleries in Issaquah approached me about selling my clocks. I'm meeting with the owner on friday to discuss having her sell them exclusively. Since the whole art-fair thing has not gone great this year (transportation problems) I figure it's time to come up with other solutions for selling my work. More info to follow once the plan is in place.

Progressive Leaf Painting

This is a painting I've been working on. The idea was to show the progression of putting ideas on paper. I love sketches almost as much as the finished product. The painting starts with sketching on the bottom, then moves to pen and ink, collage and eventually painting. I like the idea but still not sure if I'm happy with the piece. I might tweak a few things, maybe less collage and more painting.

One of my clocks was just added to a treasury on etsy. http://tinyurl.com/39uqy27

All About Texture

Continuing to work on the new painting today. All-white, all about texture. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

In Process

I'm just starting a new painting. I've wanted to do it for a while. I'm starting by covering strips of mdf in different textiles to create a progression of texture. Then the texture is modpodged with tissue paper to make a surface suitable for painting. The cool thing about this painting is that it's going to be all about texture, no color at all. Since I usually have a strong focus on color, I'm excited to see what happens. Should be interesting. Check back to follow progress.

Tree Collection

LilyandLemon at etsy included one of my wall clocks in their Tree Collection. Pretty cool, check it out: http://tinyurl.com/26ankg9
