Building Layers. Mixed Media. Cradled Boards.
Sunday, April 19th, 2015Building Layers. Mixed Media. Cradled Boards.
Mixed-media art works on cradled birch boards, I started a few weeks ago.
Working on board allows me to scrape back, sand & scratch into the surface
I have left areas raw to show the grain. Building layers with shellac stains, found papers and textiles.
More oil pigments, graphite dust and inks.
I may add some encaustic wax, as well.

Early Morning in the Studio.
Sunday, April 5th, 2015Early Morning in the Studio.
It’s amazing how much I achieve early morning in the studio.
I recently, added more items to sculptures that have been sitting on the workbench for years…
Played with shellac and wax and resolved all the paintings I did at the encaustic week- end workshop.
I also managed to clean-up small areas of studio to make room for new art supplies arriving.
I’ll have to get up early more often…
Paintings & Gelatin Prints.

Cimetière des Chiens Playground 1
Cimetière des Chiens Playground 2
Cimetière des Chiens Playground 3 (Sold)
Inspiration for the paintings.
A celebration to animals…Mapping and playing in the Cimetière des Chiens et Autres Animaux Domestiques in Paris. Opened in 1899 its a cemetery of dogs and cats and other domestic animals. Some of the cemetery’s residents are famous, such as Rin Tin Tin.
The plots and plaques are just so lovingly decorated. My daughter and I like to spend time with the stray cats and dogs who wander in and out of the cemetery .The kind staff feed and shelter any stray animal by scattering little semi- enclosed boxes around the cemetery.

Abstract Play. New Paintings.
Thursday, February 19th, 2015My latest little abstract paintings with bursts of high-energy marks, dissolving into planes of colour with blocks of cobalt blue found papers walking across the surface.
When is a painting finished ?
Saturday, November 22nd, 2014This painting was started about 6 weeks ago and is still morphing…
Beginning with large areas of loose colour. I lived with it and watched
I tightened it up with more colour, dribbles and abstract geometric forms. For the next week I watched again…
Still not satisfied, I threw it on the floor and used, bucket and broom, to scrub, pour & glaze with puddles of watery acrylic paint and Gesso to muddy it up
Once dry, I worked into the forms to bring them back again
Recently, I scrubbed away more areas, added several paint glazes and played across the surface with oil pastel for days
When is a painting finished?
It will tell me…
