#1294 “Islands”. Watercolor collage on foamcore 3.5×5″ in mat to fit 5×7″ frame. $25.
“Islands” is one of those collages that I recognize the parent of one of the pieces – it was “Amazing Storm“. I don’t recognize the other two parents!
#1295 “Ghost”. Watercolor collage on foamcore 5×3.5″ in mat to fit 5×7″ frame. $25.
One of “Ghost”‘s parents is certainly “The Setting Sun” – the bottom left piece – but it has quite a mixed heritage it seems…
#1292 Flowing. 3.5×5 watercolor collage on foamcore in mat to fit 5×7 frame. $25.
Another couple little ones…. On the first one I named it Flowing because I love how the top of the cloud at the bottom flows between the three pieces.
The second one does have a more ominous feel, even though it is more colorful.
(Oh, I wish I could put this text at the side of the image like I did above. It’s been 10 minutes of struggling, I give up.)
#1293 Ominous. 5×3.5″ watercolor collage on foamcore in mat to fit 7×5″ frame. $25.
#1290 Juxtapose. 3.5×5″ collage on foamcore, matted in white to fit 6×8″ frame. $25.
Another two little babies from the basket. Sometimes it’s all in the name!
#1291 A Sense of Humor. 3.5×5″ collage on foamcore, matted in white to fit 6×8″ frame. $25.
#1288 Let Dreams Through. Watercolor collage, 5×3.5 matted to fit 7×5″ frame.
Here are another couple babies from the bin. For the first painting, I was definitely in my right brain when I was inspired to name it. On the second one, I just love the way I’ve been able to find the clouds that flow throughout the collage.
#1289, Continuous. Watercolor collage on foamcore, 3.5×5″, matted to fit 5×7″ frame.
Another couple of babies from that clutch that I hatched a few weeks ago. The second one is a personal “favorite child”.
#1285 “Precision”. Watercolor collage, 5×3.5″ in mat framing to 7×5″. $25
#1287 “It’s raining stars”. Watercolor collage, 5×3.5″ in mat framing to 7×5″. $25
#1283 Jump for Joy. Watercolor collage 5×3.5″ in 7×5″ mat. $25.
It’s been such a dry year for sales, I’ve not needed to create too much. Nevertheless sometimes I just can’t hold back. Thought I’d do a batch of small impulse-purchase sized works at $25 a pop. Indeed there were a couple of impulses succumbed to in the last couple shows. Here are a few of the ones that haven’t quite impulsed people yet.
I’m having as much fun with the titles as the collages.
I’ve long wanted to see the Aurorae, but cost and logistics have always prevented it – plus that pesky old unalterable – the cold! Nevertheless I can be inspired by the photos that others post. The tough one about painting the aurorae is that it’s light on blackness – something that can’t be easily done in watercolor, and the soft swirls can’t be done easily in acrylic. So this is one of my most impressionistic skies.
If you love it – it’s small enough to ship easily, still gift sized and ready to go on the wall. Others that I’ve posted recently were from a batch of matted pieces.
#1256 Aurorae II. Refractured watercolor on flat panel, acrylic edges. 11×14″, $180.
