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.
I've been trying to work on paintings in warm colors, a little more muted....but occasionally I need to jump in and do something for myself. Which means color, color, color!
This is a new painting I'm working on, it's going to be 4' x 4' and a progression of techniques from bottom to top.
Renton River Days was a success and a lot of fun! Looking forward to my next festival, not sure what it will be yet.
Next weekend, july 23-25th, I'll be at Renton River Days. I'm excited, this will be the first festival where I've had my booth.
