My Hand at Collage Painting


Santo I, Santos Series Mixed Media Collage Painting on Linen 5"x7"
I have started several paintings of saint statues. I am very fascinated by rituals and all the items that accompany the ceremonies. This painting was turning out to look too dark and so I rubbed some of the painting off of it. I really like the look and when I would return to finish it, it just felt like that was the way it was destined to be.

Well, when Sarah Capshaw came to do her demo for the Edmond Art Association, she took out a lot of the mystery of collage painting. She made it appear very meditative, which at this time, is just what I needed.
A few days after the demo, I came across the Saint painting and knew exactly what to do with it. I took a El Nacional and just found words that connected with me with no real direction in mind.
I am very happy with it and I think I will create more of them. The excercise was very helpful and even felt so very self endulgent.
Below is a collage painting that I purchased from Sarah. I absolutely love the colors.

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
