lots of yellow paint…
I had help when I was taking pictures.... perhaps I should figure out a place to photograph art work that is not my basement floor 🙂these are just some acrylic 'sketches' from the past year... mostly just using up paint that was about to die.
oil pastels on watercolor
I needed a quick art fix earlier this summer.... so oil pastel on top of Japanese watercolors seemed like the way to go.... i rather like making blotches of whatever color(s) I happen to pick out of my box. Then come back after it's dry to stare at the blotches to see what appears and …
Laima-doodles, take 21,987,266,001
More sketchy paintings by Laima.... I tend to sketch/doodle during most meetings at work.... here's an attempt to see what would happen if I took something from one of my many notebooks covered in black & white Laima-doodles and made them BIG (these are roughly 2'x3') and added color.... as you can see, I'm still …
Pyrex, take 1
i'm learning how to work with pyrex...these are flower pendants...... they are also called 'implosions'.If you click on them - the actual image is pretty big and you can see a decent amount of detail. I need to get my act together and figure out a way to take my setup into the Vinery for …
cement scupting – the first two attempts
I've finally taken a few pictures of the new hobby! Cement scupting is neat-o. I will answer the most commonly asked question for you right off the bat... how do you sculpt the cement? With a spoon and a hacksaw!
another post-travel painting
this one was painted shortly after returning from Denmark.And here's a painting I can't decide which way to hang.... incidentally, i am also having a hard time deciding whether to keep it or not.... it was painted while hanging out with a cute boy, but is that enough reason to keep it? maybe i should …
three lithos
I'm procrastinating... so here, have a series of three lithographs to look at. This was one of my favorite projects in a class full of pretentious are students.... ok, that was a little harsh. Some of them were nice, and eventually the professor and I came to a kind of unspoken understanding. As far as …
a series of three….
here are those three paintings I was talking about... my dad got a whole stack of foam-board movie posters (for gosh-awful movies) and so i've been somewhat slowly painting over all of them. I guess the actual painting itself has been going quickly --- these three took me less than an hour each and I …
a series of other people’s art…
I came across a fairly old copy of Southwestern Art (1997) which resulted in some of my favorite lightswitch covers, four of which are shown here. I traded a whole pile of my old magazines that don't have terrific photographs (like Time, Newsweek, and cooking light) for even better magazines! I think I'll start going …
