OIL AND WAX PAINTINGS ON CANVAS FROM SPRING 2013 MFA SEMESTER

These are two new paintings, very similar, as they are two versions of the same scene. The scene is from a photo that my professor's brother had taken. It is a photo taken of the first flight taking off from a New York airport after 9-11-2001. As we all remember , air traffic was stopped for a few days after that tragedy. This is the first flight outbound as air travel resumed. The flight was at sunrise.

Mixed Media and Collage with Acrylic and Ink

These are recent Paintings which use Mixed Media Techniques. They were done with a combination of collage, India Ink, Acrylic Paint, Golden Acrylic Matte Medium, Yes Paste, and Wax Crayon , on watercolor paper, and Rice paper. These are more Abstract works, with color and process being most important. There are influences from maps, aerial views from Google earth, and also an exploration of randomness. The ink and paint are applied in a variety of ways that are a somewhat controlled randomness of dripping and using gravity and forced air to direct the flow. I am becoming increasingly more interested in blurring, dripping, collage and other less traditional means of color application.
   Less representational than some of my earlier work, they are a fun way to experiment with art materials and learn what they are capable of.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING

 Sunday we set our clocks to "Spring Forward". Hopefully our showers today will bring on the Spring flowers. This week, I have been seeing the tops of crocus and daffodil greens popping up in my garden. Surely the nice weather can't be far behind.
