New framed work

 


So last week was incredibly busy with all the Easter services going on, plus the creative prep for them. I set up my blog posts for the week and let everything upload automatically, so my apologies for not visiting anyone's blog or replying to comments last week. I just needed to get on with doing my own stuff.

And this is one of the things that I did. It's on a plastic vinyl material that someone gave me a big roll of. I taped off the edges, gessoed it, and let loose with a brayer to start with, which is why there are some great textures that you can see in the close-ups below. 

I find myself doing lots of stripes at the moment, and particularly like the ones at the top of this piece where I dragged a mark-making tool through the black and into the pink and made an accidental notan. 

What new thing are you doing in your art at the moment?

  1. Like how your marks add wonderful texture to your pieces and the blue crosses are very eye catching. Hope your April is off to a lovely start.

  2. Oh, I'm salivating over this one, Tracy. It is so luscious I'd have been tempted to eat it, rather than frame it. Like you, I love the top area of black and pink, and the greyed wave below. Awesome!!!

    1. Thanks, Win. I think my birthday cakes would be a better fit for eating, though! My family like to test me, so I've made Noah's ark, a puffer fish, an echidna, and a cat in the past. This year Zach wants a frog. Not just a flat frog but a sitting frog, 3D style. It could all end up looking like a hill, but I'll do my best :)
