a work in progress….
I am assembling a small cement patio for under the wisteria trellis.
So far, it’s made of 1 cement stepping stone I made as an example for a class I taught, and the bricks are found bricks (some people throw away perfectly good bricks!). I might have to break down and buy some bricks to finish this… My pile-o-scraps is not really working to fill this out into a nice rectangle right now
Found this at a local thrift store and thought it was too cool to pass up. I started stripping the old paint with enthusiasm….. but now I’m not so sure I like the look of the plain wood. Maybe this is a piece better suited to being painted after all? What do you think?
BEFORE starting:
AFTER some stripping on Day 1:
The weather has been nice enough (and I’m back in town) that I figure it’s time to start up on this project again. I would love to put this in its place in my studio/office!
I recently spent 5 days on a small island 12 miles off the coast of Maine with a group of 13 other artists. It was an impulse purchase/decision I made at the end of January, and might be the best thing I’ve decided to do so far in 2015.
I started some 9 pieces, mostly acrylic, but a few watercolors, too. Day 1 resulted in this:
Here are the three most finished pieces: Blue, Bluer, and Bluest.
