New patch on my studio apron

Had a great time with the @urbansketchersomaha this morning at @countrysideomaha It was lovely seeing old friends and meeting new people, slowing down and drawing for a bit.

Painting patterns on tracing paper for mixed media pieces as large paintings in their ugly/awkward stage wait for attention.

Today's work in the studio: putting together journal covers with materials on hand. I've got Kraft-tex (paper leather) matched up with dyed mixed papers or gel-plate prints. The covers will encase 80 pages of mixed-media paper suitable for sketching

small experiments

November 4, 2015

Smaller panels or paper offer good places to experiment. Every now and then, results lead to ideas for larger pieces. Sometimes I just keep piling on more layers. And sometimes they reach a point where I think they are ready to show and sell.

The panels I'm working on now are in various stages, but each one has a good number of thin layers of pigment. Some have a thick layer or two of wax over or in between colored layers. A few include collaged elements. Depending on how they evolve over the next few weeks, they may be on display during the Hot Shops open house December 5 and 6. Please stop in between noon and 8 p.m. Saturday or between noon and 6 p.m. on Sunday that weekend. 

about 10 panels in various stages of layering, collaging and other interventions. 

same panels a little further along...
