Some things have to go

Some of you know, I do daily (almost) sketches.  They are piling up so I decided it’s time for some of them to go away.  Some will go in the  Etsy Store I’ve opened and some will go in the recycle pile. 

Prices for those in the Etsy Store are $5 or $10 depending on size and time.  They’re quick sketches as is, no mat, no frame.  Check it out, here’s a link to my store.

The recycle ones will get a coat of gesso and a new sketch.  I hate the idea of wasting good paper.

Delivering My ArtWalk pieces

I’ll be delivering my work today, a day early.

This one isn’t official but if there is room at Calico Cat “On Harbor Island” will be there along with “Artisan Gallery” …… which is my mixed media piece.  If there isn’t room Harbor Island will go to the gallery uptown.

Echoes of a Sacred Past will be at J. Morgan Ltd.  Due to a mix-up this one won’t be in the program but it’s in the painting category and will be at J. Morgan.

Almost Ready

Next week Art Walk opens here in Grand Haven.  I have entered in two categories, painting and mixed media.  The painting has been done, just needs a title and then photographed and framed.

This morning I finished the mixed media piece…

It’s a monoprint with collage added but this time I did a little experimenting.  I added some copper, the door.  To hold it in place I used industrial strength double sided tape, a carpet tack for a door handle and small nails opposite the door handle and to add an accent to the window,  It’s small, just 8’' x 8”.  The framed is 1 and 7/8th” deep so it can either sit on a shelf or hang on a wall.  It will be at Calico Cat along with another piece that isn’t officially part of Art Walk.  The price is $95.00

I’ll post the other one here when it’s finished.

A Door Challenge

Once again, a challenge on Facebook, 5 days, 5 doors.  Here they are.

Same gate, another view and reversed

And this week I brought back a piece that was in a show at the Gallery Uptown… a departure that I think I’m going to visit again. This is Aunt Agnes, I had so much fun making her that I think I need to do more dolls.  She has lots of embellishments that were great fun to add.

And I have a few images that I’m wanting to do larger paintings of, it’s time to get back to that too.
