The Evolution of an Artwork
Once upon the time there was a large forty-two inch square panel that a woodworking friend created for me. Wood panels are my favorite substrate as they can support anything that I can stick onto them with acrylic matte gel medium. (Have I told you that I buy matte gel medium by the gallon? It's true.)
I prepped this particular wood panel and painted on it live at church, as I do at times.
Why So Many Hours In The Dark?
Another midsummer day in a dim room creating cyanotypes, even though I still don’t know how they will fit into my art practice in the future, if at all. Altogether I’ve spent more than:
four full days working plus prep time.
an undisclosed amount of money on extra fancy, cotton watercolor paper.
tons of time and coin on specialty transparency sheets that are designed specifically for making digital negatives.
Seasons Change
Probably one of the most interesting things about this piece is that it was originally part of another artwork. "Seasons Change" is 12" wide and 16" high but it came from a much larger piece that was 40" x 40".
Love Notes from Nature
These are my newest little artworks, perfect for showing your love of nature.
Me & YouTube
Did you know that I have a YouTube channel? Years ago it started out as just something that I tried out, to see if I could shoot and post videos - I know, funny - and now it's developed into something more.
