really fighting with this one today... you can see the white spots where i painted some signs out so i can correct them later. trying to remember that when a painting is this difficult, it usually means the next one is going to be really good! right? right?!!!

it's all coming together... (the foamcore board is just scaffolding to hold the canvases while I work with the yarn, after the glue dries and I finish the crochet/embroidery stuff the canvases are going to pop out and hang separately)
#wip #abstractart
Two small oil paintings on canvas. The paintings are primarily blue and suggest dreamy cityscapes. They're mounted slightly offset inside a big piece of white foam board with holes, and some variegated blue yarn is hanging in/between them. The whole assembly is sitting in the trunk of a car. Close up of one of the canvases from the previous photo. It's oriented on its side and there are loops of yarn wet with glue hanging off the edge of the canvas (resting on the foam board). There's a lot of wax paper and drafting tape to keep the glue off of the painting and foam board.

here's a little egg tempera painting I made, inspired by Evrard d'Espinque’s Illuminations of De Proprietatibus Rerum
Scan of an ink and egg tempera paint illustration. The focal point of the image is a circle that looks like a very small planet, segmented by 2 sets of branching rivers, one radiating from the top and another from the bottom. There are two tiny castles painted at the sources of the rivers. At the top of the planet, it is day, with a sun and yellow sky above green land. The color of the land turns blue and then purple as you move down to the bottom of the planet, where it is night, with a moon, stars, and dark purple sky. The planet is surrounded by a ring of light blue with wavy white lines - air or perhaps more water? There is a rectangular green frame around all of it that separates the two skies.

what I've been working on recently... first experiment with metallic paint
#wip #painting #abstractart
Abstract painting in red, copper, dark blue, turquoise, purple, and pink oil paints. Blocks of color are defined by thin white lines. There's a sideways eye-like shape in the center, surrounded by some concentric circles, spiraling lines, and a sun-like metallic copper halo radiating out of the final circle.

i think once these dry, i will be ready to move on to the fiber arts portion of the project....
#wip #painting #abstractart #mixedmedia
Two small square canvases, each painted primarily in blue with magenta and cool yellow accents. They have coordinating abstract designs that look a little bit like a cityscape. They're hung on a wall with the left one a couple inches higher than the right, and some dark blue yarn is draped over pushpins below.

telephone poles coming out even better than i'd hoped

Oil painting of telephone poles & wires in an empty abstract landscape. Sky is a very very light purple gray, ground is darker blue-gray. There's a very pale yellow sun not quite in the middle. Oil painting of telephone poles & wires in an empty abstract landscape. Sky is sort of robin's egg blue, ground is an orange-brown with bits of pale yellow at the edges.

ok it is time to stop working on my "remember how to use oil paints after a decade long hiatus" piece and move on to something else, please encourage me in letting go and moving on
Oil painting of a suburban neighborhood scene. There's a green house with a porch in the middle and a bit of a gray house on the right, the street has a sidewalk and curves away to the left. Big lines of puffy clouds at top right. Lots of plants. Everything is very green, with very yellow light and blue shadows. The angle and color of the light suggests late afternoon.
