princess: i had two of these frames - sprayed them flat white and rubbed on the gray. I wish I had more of them - I made the painting FOR the frame. I have a trunk show thursday and a studio sale in 3 weeks so I ma trying to make unique affordable new pieces. thank you!
I like the frame painted white/etc. Really nice contrast to the black back ground. I spent some of my weekend viewing a ton of Day of the Dead skulls and found a few that did the black background/white. It's interesting how much changes by the shift in contrasts, but I really like this painting. The images truly pop!
Will you put your item online? Please? is that possible?
I like the way your, or at least my eyes go around in a circle investigating the nooks and crannies, but when you stand back your struck by the symmetry of structure and color. Don't know much about art, but I like this. Your raindeer's still my favorite. What are those sand dollar, egg things, or am I supposed to know?
boxer: On the days of my studio sale, which is November 26th and 27, I will also post some of the work on my website. I had been wanting to paint on black gesso for a long time - one of my patron saints of painting, Anna Pugh, paints on black and I always loved the look - although these pieces are to be very spare - i.e. affordable. to me- they are also like Miro with the shapes floating in space. You have inverse calaveras? I wanna see that. xo
curmudgeon: thank you! the green eggs (i like that interpretation!) are just design elements. they are loosely "flowers". Im going to try and do some raindeer like pieces for the sale - but in more understated colors - so they are "cabiny"
Morran portraits are so stunningly sophisticated over at Studio Morran I'm hanging my head in embarrassed amateurish shame (just between you & me ;-) xoxo S, Dee & Sam(uel)
warmly and softly sentiments rise harmony flowers tea with the sky corn trails and feathers a pull of the calm in centralised symbols that flow through the palms in psalms of a calling the deep of the sea where the birds fly a sense of all free in the feilds of emotion on eternitys tide with harmony flowers the earth and the sky
The seed pod/flower in the upper right is my favorite element after the chicken tail feathers. Sometimes I see in your work a very delicate balancing act between down home folk art and a kind of Mid Century Modern-esque high stylization. I don't know if that's intentional or just the way my eyeballs interpret it, but it's very unique and compelling when it happens. I dig it!
susan: I feel the same. Im embarrassed of mine. If I dont have time to do something well i shouldnt do it at all - or do it but if its not up to snuff -hold it back. I thought yours was professional and lovely.
SHe is going to put every entry in the book. I try too hard lately. I have to just draw freely and let things be off or wrong and quirky. I have to do assignment work today -but for my studio sale I want to just draw automatically and paint without too much fuss. Im having some difficulty focusing lately. gah!
Neil!: I swear everytime you write a poem I declare that one my favorite. Tea with the sky? I love that. I always delight in these poems. thank you so.
Moi: an astute deconstruction. Couldnt have described it better myself. Im glad you likey!! More to come.

warmly and softly
ReplyDeletesentiments rise
harmony flowers
tea with the sky
corn trails and feathers
a pull of the calm
in centralised symbols
that flow through the palms
in psalms of a calling
the deep of the sea
where the birds fly
a sense of all free
in the feilds of emotion
on eternitys tide
with harmony flowers
the earth and the sky
..peace..

@ moi .... very much a mid century color scheme too.
ReplyDelete@ Chicky ... it's a happy painting!
Perky chicken, eager insect, cycling life.. is this your painted haiku?
Good luck with getting everything ready for your sales. Will you put everything online after the on-site sales?
