Small Paintings and Decorative Scrolled Paper

"Moonesque"

Robyn Gordon has posted lovely images of paper scrolls on Art Propelled right now.  I always love visiting there because she always does her homework and brings her viewers a multitude of images of whatever it is that she's interested in at the moment.  I have "discovered" so many wonderful artists there, thanks to her "sluething".  If you haven't visited Robyn's blog before, jump on over there and be sure to link to her website where you'll find her own, gorgeously carved totems and other objects. (She also happens to be featured this week on Patti Roberts-Pizzuto's ongoing Made by Hand series at Missouri Bend Studio.)



It being a glorious day in Portlandia, I was inspired to grab a stash of my own personal "scrolls," made from one of my mixed media-treated papers, and dash up to my garden shed where I knew the low afternoon light would be conducive to photographs.  I also managed to capture a couple of of decent photos of small paintings on mat board while I was up there. 

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!

Shifting Hues

After my last, nearly monochromatic post of  beigy-grey (or greyish-beige?) images.....voila! -- two colorful works on paper! The first, on tissue paper, was done via a combination of relief printing and acrylic paint.  It's shown cropped with a digitally altered  palette here.  You can see the original work here.  The second piece was painted (and stamped) on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.  Neither of these are new pieces.  Perhaps this weekend will yield something new.... if not in the way of art, then at least in the way of a house returned to normal after the holidays. 

Been getting caught up on your blogs (though not commenting all that frequently).  So much inspiration to partake of.    Thank you!
