Walnut Ink

I just love to work with walnut ink. 

And part of that attraction is the way it looks when it is wet. 

So Pretty!!!!

This is written with walnut ink (of course) on Arches Textwove paper.

Just messing 'round

I realized, just tonight, that I have Corel Painter Sketch Pad on my computer. Boy, the time sure slips away when I'm messing 'round with these type of programs. There are so many things I should be doing but . . .

I created this instead.

Modified Gothic Style

Here is another piece done for homework from the first class of Reggie's 'Primitive to Modern' class. I really was motivated on the homework from the first class.

I must admit, though, this month I am struggling with ideas. But that's ok; I still have time. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

More work from the Reggie class

This text is cut as one piece from black paper and then adhered to the red paper. The circle elements tie the text together and also connect the text to the edges.

Happy Easter!

Still with the Small Canvases

Well, this is a continuation on a continuation. There were two earlier post showing the progression of a series of small canvases. One was a trio of sunflowers the other has turned into this square of nine canvases. The text, which is mostly washed away, is the personification of Wisdom as described in Proverbs. I love this text.

The things I like about this set is the colors and depth of color. The thing that I find is missing is a structural element. There is plenty of organic movement in each canvas and across the whole, but there is no linking structural element. What do you think?

the final series
