Light in the Waiting Room

March 23, 2015Leave a comment

I sat in the waiting room for the final appointment with my surgeon last week. The lamp on the table beside me was on even though it was daytime and fairly bright in the fluorescent hospital lighting. It struck me as odd, to have a lamp in a waiting room that was already lit with overhead … Continue reading Light in the Waiting Room

Kollage Kick

March 16, 2015Leave a comment

I've been on a kollage kick lately! I love getting out of my usual drawing mode for excursions in collage. Here's a process you might like to try sometime: 1. Swipe some watercolor or acrylic around on a blank page in your sketchbook. 2. While that's drying, choose papers in colors that echo the colors … Continue reading Kollage Kick

Play!

I'm not very good at this. At least when you consider the inspiration from which I was drawing. As the whims of my creative fancy cycle through their seasons, I often find myself drooling over the work of mixed media artists out there. There are so many, but recently I came across Roben-Marie Smith's colorful … Continue reading Play!

Random Acts of Paper: Part 4 (Final)

November 2, 2012Leave a comment

This last card made me think of "Winken and Blinken and Nod sailing off in a wooden shoe...sailed on a river of crystal light, into a sea of dew." It's one of my favorite songs! Not much going on with the back side of the card. I was "done". You know, the itch had been … Continue reading Random Acts of Paper: Part 4 (Final)

Trees! I have a fascination with Trees! When I finished making this one, I kept thinking "Chicka Chicka Boom! Boom!" which is from a favorite children's book by that name and features the alphabet climbing a tree. I really should have photographed this upside down so you could see the little tree on the back … Continue reading Random Acts of Paper: Part 3

Random Acts of Paper: Part 2

This is the second collaged card I made. It was cool to take a background paper and look at my pile of scraps to see what would work with the card stock. It almost seemed like the little scraps would whisper...yes, me! and me! oh no...i just won't do with that blue! etc. Not as … Continue reading Random Acts of Paper: Part 2

Until I have a chance to create a post about our awesome Walk Day, I'll share this with you. I had another creative itch to scratch last week...except this time it was paper collage! I decided to make cards. I liked using the little bits of throwaway papers I have and seeing what I could … Continue reading Random Acts of Paper: Part 1

Responding to Rutenberg

June 11, 2012Leave a comment

ID #103 I've recently discovered an artist whose work and words I'm eating up these days. To say that his paintings are delicious would be correct...the color, movement, and draw-you-in composings on canvas are breathtaking. His words are equally inspiring. Brian Rutenberg lives and works in New York City. His work is about as far … Continue reading Responding to Rutenberg
