...as an artist. There's always something to do (especially working on the never-ending 3 x 4 painting). You asked to see the painting as a whole at this stage, so here it is.
With an arsenal of paints, stencils, stamps and pens lined up, there are sure to be many more layers to come.
Adding details in pen is always fun,
and certainly changes the look of things.
Whether the ink work is fine or wide, there is depth added.
The start of stamping found a hint of a nest in the corner, so we'll see where that goes.
And given that fall has really hit in our area, you'll know that the gnarly look has arrived outside as well.
We found this mountain of pumpkins at
Wloka's, the local fruit and vegetable stand, and it was just one of
many.
I could have broken the month's budget there just for the beauty. I don't dare return!
We're extraordinary lucky to live in an area so rich with orchards, farms, vineyards and lakes...bliss, indeed.
May your week have been just as filled with autumnal splendor, as well as rivers of creative juices!
We live in such a rich growing area and I too marvel at the colours and shapes of the harvest at local fruit stands.
ReplyDeleteI also am in awe of the harvest share program...there are so many volunteers working to pick crops and share them - with the food bank, seniors' homes and so much more. Thousands of pounds of fruit and vegetables are gleaned and shared each year...it's an amazing program!
DeleteHi Win, I keep thinking the project is finished and then you add something else and yes it had to be there! I love those lumpy Gourds they are so unusual with the shapes, textures and colours, just amazing natural art. Take care and craft on my friend. Hugs Angela xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's just so much fun to keep on keeping on with this...it may never end. 😉 And oh yes, the gourds! Mother Nature really went wild with them, didn't she?! So much fun.....
DeleteWhat a riot of colour and pattern! And the ink work really starts to push and pull elements to give it all depth.
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkins are spectacular - no wonder you have to keep away :) Enjoy the cooling weather. We have hit a spring hot spot here, but it should cool in a few days.
There's so much (endless) enjoyment to be had with all the crazy colour and patterning, Tracy.
DeleteAnd yes, the pumpkins and gourds are wonderful...I'll be adding melted crayons today to the white pumpkin, just for the sheer fun of it!
The big picture is just getting better and better. I have decided that we do similar artwork with different mediums. I used to create large collages with hundreds of pictures. I haven't made one for awhile since I started on photoshop art.
ReplyDeleteAnd we both love bumpy pumpkins! I love Autumn, the feeling the colors...glorious. I hope yours is terrific. Hugs and best wishes, Deann
Many thanks, Deann, and I agree that we have the same creative aesthetic in so many ways. I'd love to see one of your large collages - they sound fabulous!!
DeleteThose gourdes/squashes/pumpkins are just the epitome of autumn, aren't they? They make my heart sing. Wishing you a terrific fall right back and sending love, Win
We are blessed with all this valley has to offer. You take all of it and create beautiful expressions.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Gwen, and I am in total agreement about our blessings here.
