I finally have some new pictures to post onto my blog. I did a quick series for a Word Art Exhibit in Valdosta, Georgia. I don’t know if they accepted my work yet, I just dropped it off a couple of nights ago.
4 paintings, all of which incorporate words into the design.
The first is Savannah Nights, loosly inspired by a weekend trip with my husband, David.
The second painting is called Fountain of Lions, once again inspired by travel. While in Spain, a few years ago we visited the Allhambra and the famous courtyard The Fountain of Lions. Here is a picture of this painting. It is my favorite of the four paintings, perhaps simple because I like the composition best of all.
The third painting is called Queensland. It is more complicated and emotional for me. Queensland is a port in Ireland which thousands emigrated from to come the USA. I have a family tree at the bottom to add a geneology element to the piece.
The fourth painting is simple. It is called FLY. I love the colors. This is my first side-trip into collage. I cut up an old painting that I did not like. I used the strips to weave a small pattern and then used gel medium to attach it to the canvas. I like the result. I may cut up all my paintings and do this. maybe not… how could I destroy such masterpieces !! ha-ha
later… Cindy
