Working on letting go and breaking through edges. The history is so much a part of this image it starts to take on a new meaning… it is like veils of paint draping over some transparent structure. Enjoy!

One Hundred and Sixty-Two!
Simple washes used to create shape. This and the following few images were created in a very loose manner attempting to cease complete control of brush marks and edges. Enjoy.
One Hundred and Sixty-One!
Above are two more examples of cards I created for the Endless Summer Event, which I participated in this past weekend. Obviously I am somewhat behind in the postings department believe me I am fully aware and attempting to get my act together now. Anyway, once again I carved a stamp from a design I created and layered it with simple shapes to give it some contrast. I really love this particular stamp and almost wish it were like 10 times as large… IMAGINE! Anyway, below is a picture of my set up at the fair. Enjoy and see you next time!
One Hundred and Sixty!
Not exactly the usual, but it was what I was doing for a couple of days. What this small little abstract shapes really is, is a thank you card created from a stamp I designed and carved and layered with a second stamp in an alternate color. I do love doing this kind of thing, it gives me time to lets say “breath” when I start getting into some kind of rut… not that I really felt that way but I do like to switch things up and keep my mind moving. ANYWAY, I was creating cards because I participated in Endless Summer which was loads of fun and I had needed some new inventory in the cards department. Whalah! Enjoy.
One Hundred and Fifty-Nine!
I love these highlight bits… kind of remind me of octopus sucker things but I kind of prefer that they remind me of when fairies touch plants, like in Fantasia! Enjoy!
One Hundred and Fifty-Eight!
Enjoy!
One Hundred and Fifty-Seven!
Well I have learned one thing, I do love that gouache is or can be opaque when needed. It makes for easy layering and I don’t have to plan which is not exactly my style to begin with.
One Hundred and Fifty-Six!
These were the result of a slight hangover, luckily they seemed to work out pretty well. The colors got a bit muddy, but I am still getting use to using gouache vs. watercolor.
One Hundred and Fifty-Five!
This image keeps messing with me, I mean everything I do is rather abstract but you can always see something in it. This one in particular looks like it is looking back at me, as if there is a face in there. Now everyone’s imagination is going to bring them in different directions but that’s where mine brought me today. Enjoy!
One Hundred and Fifty-Four!
Loving the contrast of hot pink with the more muted pallet. Enjoy!
