It has been quite a long time since I blogged….it has been a busy summer for me with lots of traveling and exploring the western states. On my travels, I didn’t make much art, but I did take hundreds of photographs that have the possibility of being used as reference images for future artworks. I have made a few collages based on places I visited. The ones below are just a sampling of the flora and fauna that fascinated me on my journeys.
7-1-12, “Deep in the Woods”, fabric and paper on board
7-2-12, “Berry in the Woods”, 6″ x 6″, acrylic paint, fabric and paper on board
7-3-12, “Pink in the Woods”, 6″ x 6″, acrylic, fabric and paper on board
7-19-12, “Surf Fishing”, 6″ x 6″, acrylic and paper on board
7-20-12, “Surf Fishing”, 11″ x 14″, watercolor
I have another watercolor in progress and am contemplating starting an oil painting. Next week is a short week at school as I have meetings on 3 days. I have been making plans for the different classes that I will be teaching and am actually looking forward to being back in the classroom. I will have to make a point to work on art in the evenings once school starts. I need to get some better lighting in my studio so that I can make it happen.
