Robin Gets A New Face!

2 Comments

This is the original Robin. But below is the new updated Robin as they are today:

Although I had wanted to stay away from paint, the colored papers I used in the original Robin faded in the light very quickly, so I ended up opting to paint the clothing and sneakers and a bit of the facial features, but not the skin or hair.

Art, still life

MORE BLACK AND WHITE

I have lost the photo I took as a reference photo, probably in a hurried effort to give myself more space, so alas, you cannot see what I was looking at. I call it Breakfast Tray With Meds, but I may change it just to Breakfast Tray because it seems everyone now takes some medication with their morning meal, yeah, even young people! Anyhow, as you can see, I’m rather enjoying drawing from this overhead perspective. And black and white is a challenge. Since all who know me know I love a challenge, expect to see more of these! (Maybe)

ART FROM NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER

7 Comments

Bone bud vases or candlesticks for slender taper candles. Handmade paper roses. Have made 8 bone bud vases and a dozen or more roses.

This head and torse made for a friend, Judy, who wants to keep her Halloween headless person throughout the year. Arms were slapped together years ago just to hold a bowl of Halloween candies but Judy insists they are good and go along with her new friend Jo’s head. Otherwise I would make new ones.

Window at Harmony Artists Collective Gallery, with all my art on display.

two different paper flowers very time consuming.
