Recent Commission

Here's a recently completed commission that I thought turned out really nice.  It will hang over the couch in the living room, and it complements the rust and teal accent colors in the room.

New Triptych

This is a new triptych that I recently finished. It has a very spring feel to it, so the working title is Early Spring, even though we're in the midst of winter. Each piece is 40" x 30", making the overall size 40" x 90". Repurposed acrylic latex paint on canvas.

I'm doing a show at The Rose Cafe, probably at the end of February and running through March. You can see these paintings in person then. Or you can see them at my studio, now, by appointment!

Leaf Monoprints on Fabric - Tests

These are my latest leaf monoprint experiments on cotton fabric.  The first two were soaked in soy milk before printing.  The prints are more distinct, and the colors are mostly orange and rust.

These next two were soaked in soda ash, which is very alkaline.  The colors are mauve and olive green, and the prints are more blurred.



The last two were soaked in soy milk, allowed to dry, and then soaked in soda ash.  It looks like the soda ash prevailed over the soy milk!  Mauve and green with blurred prints.



I'm still liking that yellow one from before best, but these have potential. They might look good with a pale yellow overdye.
