collage paintings

I've created two collage paintings with my

jester & pin wheel

drawings. I'm not in love with the paintings, but the process is interesting

and needs to be explored further.

Just filling my sketchbook . . .

Still drawing,
but I've moved
on to another subject.
Or, rather back to
one of my favorite
subjects -

the Jester.



 


I've decided to
add more of my own drawing to
the collage.

Pin Wheels.

Remember to give thanks to those who serve . . .

collages . . .

I'm still making
collages with
my own art.
But I'm moving
on from
ACEO/ATC's
to something larger.
I made a collection
of colored pencil
drawings
~ a few vases
~ a decoy

~ even a background
I used quality
color copies
and
collaged them
to a
painted
watercolor
paper.

Artland - Art in Progress - ArtStar

So - I'm watching

ARTLAND on TV

and I wonder what

other ART shows

am I missing.

I search on my DVR and I

find ART in PROGESS

on the Halogen channel 

Love it too!

and

ARTSTAR

ARTSTAR from 2006

where have I been?
Wait - I've watched almost 2 episodes
Dissapointing - it's more about manipulating a group of artists - forcing them into group projects when they were under the impression they each would have a gallery show. I know it was shot in NYC and "shock" value is their idea of entertainment - but nakedness & bubble wrap, etc - is that the best they can come up with?

ArtLand TV Show

I just discovered
ArtLand on TV.
Normally I berate TV
for sucking up all my time
and inspiration -
but ARTLAND is fabulous.
So inspirational.
Art in America
hosted by BBC -
go figure.
But I love it.
I just want to paint
or draw
or collage . . .

More
COLORED
PENCILS
and
more
GLUE
doesn't get
better than this

Waiting for the muse . . .

 COLORED

 PENCILS

 my

FAV

and

GLUE

I'm waiting for that

"Ah Ha" moment when

I know exactly what I want to work on.

The perfect subject to inspire me

to take up the brushes and paint.

Until that happens,

I'll fill my time with drawing.

And maybe a little collage.

Maybe use my own drawings

in the collage.

See where I'm going with this!

 

I need a new project. A DEADLINE.

Something Tangible.

A note on my Calendar.

A PROMISE.

It's so easy to just PAINT PAINT PAINT.

The hard part is coming up with the ideas.

 Right now I'm just filling my sketchbook with random drawings.
