Memorial day and a long weekend. Rain, wind and nasty weather. Perfect for indoor work. Saturday, I dragged my husband into see the print/ceramics show for it’s final day. I was delighted to find one of the prints had sold. Mr Moby snoozing in the chair caught someone’s attention enough to move into their home.Continue reading “Weekend Work”

Dog print show: final week
The dogs will be returning home after a month on view at The Arts Center of Corvallis. Their final day is Saturday May 25, noon to 5pm. If you do make it in, please make sure to visit BOTH gallery spaces (yes, they are split between two areas). Wander into the back office/staff space toContinue reading “Dog print show: final week”
Christmas Cactus
Wingtip Press Reductive Monotype workshop: Day 3 Since I don’t have a lot of time today to work through the petroglyph trip (thanks to my procrastination with pulling together an installation art proposal due at midnight May 12) , I thought I should just pop up the images of the final print. For this imageContinue reading “Christmas Cactus”
Starting the monotype process
Day 2 of the Wingtip Press Workshop: After working for a full day on reductive drawings, we were ready to start the 3 color reduction monotype (also referred to as “stacked monotypes”). Since I didn’t bring along specific images, I chose to work from the previous days pepper drawing. I should also mention Rose learnedContinue reading “Starting the monotype process”
Working through problems
Sleeping dog in sun. Feet and body in shadows. Warm daylight. I’m amazed the grainy texture is slowly disappearing as new colors are scraped over the top. The image becomes more resolved as it moves along, an interesting process to witness. My cousin recently commented “for someone who claims not to paint, it’s awfully painterly!”Continue reading “Working through problems”
Back to the chair
It’s hard to shift gears and revisit a print with issues, but I hope to be able to save it since the show is days away. Hidden under piles of other print materials, I managed to locate all the reference paperwork for the image. I work from a color, black and white plus a previousContinue reading “Back to the chair”
Darkening the dog
There are always parts I want to go back change in any of my prints. Certain sections that should have received more shadow, certain colors that really didn’t alter much. For the most part, I think it’s going alright (except for that foot). I’m still learning how far to push values and resolving an image.Continue reading “Darkening the dog”
Hobie: Start of the colors
That first color is always a big quandary. What color to start with? Did I chose a light enough blue or not? Well, the first is down and now it’s on to color two… I think it will all work out. It always seems to! Maybe one more color for today before calling it quits.Continue reading “Hobie: Start of the colors”
Oh so close, but not yet finished!
Tuesday my eyes and lower back were acting up. Just what I need right now! The eye thing is probably allergy related. Anyway, I experienced several glitches with the screen. First, I struggled with deciding where to draw the line between color 6 & 7. The darker values are a lot harder to decipher. MoreContinue reading “Oh so close, but not yet finished!”
Explaining a process
Monday morning I received a nice email from Lois. She has been following along with Julie & Glenn’s progress, but her husband hasn’t. Tim, you should really be keeping up! LOL! I sent her a quick run through using “The Lick” print (the one prior to this image). I also mentioned showing the screen forContinue reading “Explaining a process”
