... these last few weeks, what with so many events and workshops on the go. My studio looks like the inside of an upturned garbage pail, albeit rather more colourful.

| Even the garbage cans get colour |
This year, the studio became a combo studio/greenhouse, due to the local college abandonment of their greenhouse program. I've been reminding myself about the advantages of filling our faces with heritage tomatoes in a few months, though!
 |
| Piles and plants - studio or greenhouse? |
I enjoyed tearing some Gelli prints to make demo pieces for the TAPS program, and couldn't seem to get stopped.
 |
| Wonky flowers |
A second garden,
 |
| Wonky flowers, too |
and houses soon joined the fray.
 |
| And then the houses got in on the act |
And you know that when a person gets on a roll,..I now have a pile of Gelli-printed flowers waiting somewhere in the studio. Assuming I can actually find them, they'll become part of a canvas or panel for the next show.
There's also an Impossible Clock and five four x four canvasses lurking around, and no end of ideas for more. Isn't the life of an artist just the best?
Your collages are wonderful and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Val - they were such play for me. I loved the silliness of them, and the total lack of pressure. And now, of course, I'm hooked!
