Day One Hundred and Twenty-Six
these are all the images from the past week, a combination of watercolor, graphite and charcoal. All started the same day and were finished when I decided they were. They were being “built” one might say, layer upon layer. I enjoy seeing all of the different levels. The residue of past thoughts or ideas. Enjoy and I will see you next time.
The New Hampshire Trip…. Images 114-120
Bellow are the images created while away in New Hampshire. The trip was a great experience and although I had intended them to be drawings from life, once I arrived up there I had no real need for direct inspiration. I was inspired already. All of the images are combinations of graphite, charcoal and watercolor and are expressions of space and shape. This is the first post in which I am mass posting images and therefore there are not many close-ups of sections. If you miss that aspect I am more than happy to include them as well. Thanks for looking and Enjoy!
Images One Hundred and Fourteen, Fifteen, and Sixteen.
They are not meant to be a triptych although they do appear that way due to color, consistent size and imagery. Primarily photographing these individually was crazy long and drove me nuts.
One Hundred and Seventeen.
These image has a pink tint to it but that is not actually part of the image.
One Hundred and Eighteen.
One Hundred and Nineteen.
One Hundred and Twenty.
One Hundred and Thirteen!
First Day of vacation and so far so good, this was the first of the group. It actually had no real reference from my surroundings but the whole situation this morning was so relaxing it just was inspired. Anyway, were off again. Enjoy see you tomorrow!
Day One Hundred and Twelve!
I love this piece, I worked on it all night off and on and it was so enjoyable. The colors kind of excite me its a new combination of colors. Anyway, Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
Day Ninety-Six!
I cut this up after and I am hoping to use this as part of the book!
Day Eighty-Nine!
Funny day for me, not my typical post at all, but this is what I did yesterday. Also, a friend told me it is good to post things like this because she wants people to know I draw more then rocks. Not that that is all I post about but a lot of things resemble rocks I suppose. Anyway, these were a lot of fun to draw, more like a doodle really. Enjoy and Ill see you tomorrow!
Day Eighty-Six!
Another day another post, its amazing to me when I learn that someone who I didn’t expect tells me they read my blog. It’s actually kind of awesome, so thank you! On another note today was bitter-sweet it was the last day at EES for me and although it will relieve some financial burdens it was a bit sad to say goodbye. I just keep saying that eventually when I get my whole life back together I can reapply or maybe even buy my own press, $3000 that’s all! Also, I decided today that I want a shrink-wrap machine, they are awesome to have when trying to prep for a craft fair or open studios. Not that it is by any means a necessity but I would like one in my future studio! Anyway, about this painting. I loved looking back on all 85 images today when I was organizing them and this just kind of evolved from that a combination of current and older images really. I’m trying to get a grip on acrylic again, haven’t properly used them since like high school which honestly was like 8 years ago now. AHHH! Anyway gotta wrap things up here, watching “21 jump Street” and it is amazing. See you tomorrow!
Day Seventy-Nine!
Another simple doodle as most people would probably call it. I’m loving this combination though. I think it is probably the contrast I am so excited and attracted too not to mention I always have loved a bright pop of color. Right now the pink happens to be that color, obviously. So just a quick reminder Open Studios in Hull are happening soon. It is the weekend of July 7th and 8th. I will only be participating on the 8th since one of my besties is getting married on the 6th and it is going to be an amazing time! Which ultimately means Saturday = Recoup time. Anyway enjoy and I will see you tomorrow!
Day Seventy-Six!
Today was a bit of an experiment with layering. I went to the Cohasset Art Fair today which opened at 2pm and went through the tent to look at all the artwork. This was the show I had tried to get into. I actually think that my pricing may have been too high for a lot of the show, seems like if you don’t have a name for yourself you works should not cost over $600 and all of mine did. Oh well you live and learn. I did see one really interesting mixed media piece which inspired me to cut up the paper (which has absolutely no significance to me, it was a Citibank credit card brochure). Also, while I was there I ran into an old friend, Mr. Rodger Tirrell, who most of my friends know as our art teacher from High School. It is always such a pleasure to chat with him. Anyway, as I said before this was just an experiment and far from a completed piece. Anyway, Enjoy and I’ll see you tomorrow.
