I’ve been inspired by a wonderful book I just found at the library, Maxine Masterfield’s “Paint The Spirit of Nature”. She uses acrylic inks, which are so vibrant, and combines them on thick watercolor paper.
Here are my results for the weekend. I don’t usually paint landscapes, and I can’t say that these started out as such, but this is what some of them look like.
I don't know which one I like best--altho the 2nd one is gorgeous, but I like the first and last also==they are really all wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow. These are beautiful. Vibrant. The last one is my favorite, but I love the ones that look like tree branches too. Super cool.
ReplyDeleteSox - these are really looking different than anything you have done so far. I am loving them! So simple, yet so complex. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never used acrylic ink for anything, but it looks like a fascinating medium. I love what you are doing with it.
ReplyDeletegreat work,the joy of doing them is evident in your work!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Arlene. This series is different from your previous pieces. I still see an oyster (or maybe a giant clam) in the first one. Though I really don't know much about abstract painting, I like this series because I can "see" something in just about all of them. I think the second one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking these much more than some of your past work. I see so many things in these...people, sunsets, tornados, aquariums...you are really on to something.
