Study in Rhapsody
12" x 9 "
Acrylic on 100 pound paper

There is nothing too precious about this process, but I like what I see happening . And the name means nothing.... just a study using my favorite blues and others!

I really have been painting every day, but nothing to completion. We celebrated Ella's first birthday and how fun that was! In the meantime, I also delivered 34 small pieces for the two person show at the Crumbzz in Forney. I can't wait to see the show hung, but had to leave town for a workshop in the morning, which is like an artist retreat! Life is good!
I just decided to post one of my studies I am doing in a class I am taking. We start with really wet paint and cover the page. Then we quickly go into the paint with a graphite stick and make marks. Next, using another piece of paper, we lift the wet paint. Step two is to cover some of the paint and marks with transparent, opaque or translucent paint and create layers and depth. It is so much fun, I started two new canvases with this method and will finish when I return next week.
