Happy Hanukkah–

 The holiday season is in full swing!

Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!
 

Countdown to–

 

 

           PIE!  I'm looking forward to baking & sampling some family favorites in just two days!

Folksy Fall

 

  I'm pleased to report we haven't had a hard frost yet so, there a few flowers still sprinkled about.

        (Painted with acrylic gouache which usually isn't my favorite but worked well here.)

Fall Flutters

 

I cut out a lot of my art, then paint, scan & build more digitally.  Because this is often my process I have flat files filled with all sorts of paper cut art & sometimes I decide to re-purpose it.  Like these butterflies that were for a greeting card project & I turned into a mobile to hang on my studio wall.  Most the butterflies are headed south now but, I've managed to keep a couple close by!

Umperfect Symmetry

 

Some silkscreened symmetry– perfectly imperfect!  Almost all my designs in art school were silkscreened.  My portfolio was large (50 x 70") silkscreened prints that I rolled and carried all over NYC for interviews in a canon like portfolio case. (which was taller than me)  I remember unrolling them for interviews to discover that the ink had crackled leaving a pile of pigment behind when I'd pack up to leave.

A couple years ago I took a print making class again– which brought all the memories back! 

(most of them good)

NOVEMBER

 

                      Some painted little leaves to celebrate the arrival of NOVEMBER.

                                Painting small is hard for me.... I usually work big!
