The work table where colors are mixed. Note the rubber stamp in the upper right hand corner.

And I have spray painting a bit. An extension of the signs I made last month. Playing with color and letting it fly. Spray paint on cardboard.

And finally, spray painting into a striped piece.

New Work In Color

This morning I finished a large color 'stamp' piece. I'm still taking it in - a lot of color in one piece for me. But color is appearing a much of my work this January. Maybe it is the time of year and a rebellion against the cold gray weather. It certainly stems from my experiments this past fall with the rubber stamps and color. I reexamining a few of the things I learned regarding color relationships.

Detail

Last week I spent much of my time making signs for the Chicago Women's March. It was an amazing event, I so glad I attended. Michelle and Corinne carried a large cardboard sign I made from the boxes my framer gives me. And I also spray painted a series of smaller color stencil pieces that we handed out at the march. There are a few left in the gallery and I may make a few more.

Pairs

I had a client this week that wanted to see a few drawings that might work as pairs. I thought I'd share the photos I sent to her. The two 'Indigo' pieces are new this week. All drawings are 40 x 26 inches. 

New Work This Week

I'm in the studio almost every day this month - it is such a good time of year to hunker down and work. Bouncing around from idea to idea a bit. But why not explore?
