SHORE STATIONS

SUNFLOWER FIELD NEAR MONTAGUE

This is what I've been painting when my foot would allow me to stand and paint. The painting is 48"x12' so it's hard to photograph the whole thing and get it on a post. Click on it to see the whole thing!

THE RIFT in the 2011 ISEA show

This piece was selected to be in the 2011 show of the International Society of Experimental Artists in June in Washington state. I'm very excited and now thinking of where I can get a sturdy cardboard box to fit it.

Final edits are done- but no title as yet.

Blogging while paint dries

This is the under painting for a piece inspired by quilting and Paul Klee's Cityscape with Yellow Window. The colors are determined by the quilt on the guest bed of the people I'm doing it for.

Maybe this way

Which way, I wonder?

PROFESSION OF FAITH BANNER for COS

This is a new banner to be hung in the sanctuary at Church of the Servant CRC for the occasion of professions of faith. This is what I did on my snowcation day after helping to dig out our driveway. This is done on painted Tyvek with collaged elements of tissue paper and torn up liturgies and materials I got at the CalvinWorship Symposium! Some of the pieces were waiting from prep work I did in the fall toward this banner. I've also devised a hanger that I think will work and be discreet.

Soli Deo Gloria! I was blessed in the process and I hope it oversees many proclamations of faith!

MUSIQUILT 2

Horizontal or vertical, one goal of the MUSIQUILT series will for them to function in horizontal or vertical formats.

New art on my wall at Fire and Water!

I brought in new pieces to Fire and Water ART! and rearranged my wall.

Girl's Club Advent project.

The 10 inch square drawings with painted enhancements were done on silver tissue. These were "quilted" together with a sandwich of tissue paper, netting, the girl's drawings and a heavy dose of a gloss polymer medium mixture and then pressure (kind of like a panini). And then I added my own flourishes. This has been an intense process of figuring and doing math and prep work. The number of squares was a variable because of attendance in the 3 sessions and it came out exactly right! Thanks be to God!

NO EXCUSES

Well, actually, I have a few. We were gone to Europe on a dream vacation for two weeks. My other defense is that my mom, who is 93, is feeling her age and I'm spending time with her in the mornings. Also, I'm working on a large project with the Girl's Club from church. I'll post that project when we finish it. I look forward to spending time in the studio again SOON and creating new things to post!

The door on this post is the door to Cezanne's studio. They wouldn't let us take photos in the studio proper, but I recognized pots and bottles from paintings! We also went past Mt Sainte Victoire.
