Work in Progress- large red painting

Finally did some more work on this painting I wrote about before.
I decided the map thing wasn’t really working so I painted over that a while ago. I recently started adding some collage elements. I usually make my collages quite small, so this is an experiment in doing a larger collage.
Sneak peek- new necklaces!

Here’s a scan of a whole batch of new necklaces. I still have to separate them into individual images and list them on my site, but I thought I’d share this in the meantime…I have a whole bunch more that are nearly ready. I ran out of chain, but it should be here any day [...]
Accordion Book- new collaborative project

An accordion book in progress for a new collaborative project with local artist Joan Phillips.
the evolution of a painting.

Tonight I felt motivated to work on this (relatively) large canvas I’ve had sitting around for months. It’s 24×36″, which is the largest thing I’ve painted in ages. Who am I kidding, it’s been forever since I’ve just painted at all, aside from filling in backgrounds around collaged paper things. I wanted to just let [...]
In Progress- trees, fruit, gears

A couple of in-progress shots of a painting I worked on this weekend.

Tonight’s drawing is a bit lame, just a bunch of circles drawn with a circle template. Yawn. It’s for Thing a Day, but the site isn’t letting me post pictures for some reason.
Thing a Day 02-25-09 (blindfolded)

Spent most of last night shredding old journals and sketchbooks. Never got around to making my drawing for the day, so I did one today on the way home. Weird blindfold lady. I realized while shredding that I actually used to be much better at drawing than I am now. I used to draw a [...]
In progress…

Finally got around to sitting down and painting tonight…A couple of these are nearing completion. A couple have been radically changed since last time (especially the one that is almost all green- I gave up on what was there and just painted over it!). All are on small canvas boards.
New Project- coasters

One day last summer D. and I went for a walk around our neighborhood and came across a whole box of nice white ceramic tiles sitting out with the trash. D. generally (and wisely) discourages my packrat instincts, preventing me from lugging home all manner of useless rusty crap. But he was kind enough to [...]
