Here is the next installment of the Layers project Erika and I are working on together. My piece took off from Erika's use of the slits she made in the paper on her last offering. I retained my drop-like shapes in watercolor, and stood them up in the paper using the slits. Erika (top piece) will be sending me some words about her process, which I will post here.
Went to Frontier in Brunswick yesterday to celebrate the first sunny day in forever. The windows of this old industrial building are huge and the sunlight was pouring in. I love the cozy ethnic bubbling vibe here. That's what I miss most about city life..the way you can have an anonymous place to go to where you can just melt into the scene and be a part but not participate.
Up at Chase's Perimeter Gallery they have a nice exhibition of outsider artist Kenny Cole's work. There is quite a bit of work, and it is really interesting. Visionary and political and truly inventive. And here are some watercolor sketches of mine, and a little thrifty find I paid $7.50 for, to hold collage materials. If I could always paint from my heart I would be a happy girl.
I am an artist working in watercolor, acrylic, and collage. I live in a small village on the coast of Maine. I blog to connect and share my art and my everyday life with others. It's a place where I can touch down to document what I experience as an artist.
