February 24- March 2
365 days of artsy work and play continues:
#55 - I bought an online booklet from Helen Williams because I absolutely love her loose, organic style of zentangling. Her book is about how she achieves her wonderful flower 'flipped' petals and winding ribbons (and includes helpful video links). I did some experimenting in my moleskin (remember, this is first efforts :)) worked on this a bit over several evenings in front of the TV which is probably why my lines aren't all that straight! :)
#56 - some progress on my dyptych acrylic painting. What a process this has been! I always thought abstract would be easy....what's so hard about painting a few circles or squares or random lines/shapes in pretty colors? Well, let me tell you - it's REALLY hard to get a pleasing composition, an effective use of color, develop a focal point, etc. Here's where I am now (Jane Davies, you're my hero....I'm workin' on it!)
I actually have an idea of where to take it from here....maybe I'll find time this weekend to pull it together a bit more.....
#57 - I also made some progress on my 12x12" square canvas abstract mixed media
Not real happy with the sharpness of these pics so I think I need to find a brighter place of natural light - it's just so gray here lately and certainly too wet to go outside...... But, you get the idea, right?
#58 - some doodled postcards to go out into the world.
Thanks for checking in with me.......
