Ancestry

acrylic, gesso, ink, pencil, collage on canvas wip



a wistful longing

regenerates ancient ties

to another time



i have been painting every day.  it's been a bit of a push. 
misty's face to face workshop as well as gritty jane's 10 day challenge
have both helped to keep the momentum going.
also i love my new studio space.  
the morning light draws me in
to create first thing even though i often feel as if 
i can't or don't know what to paint next.
but once i am in my space around my materials
i start.  from that point there is no looking back

here are a few of the faces i've painted.  my son
says they are scary but then he said he likes scary:)




















okay.  they are a little scary :)




this post is linked to rebecca brooks' haiku from the heart

Not scary. Ethereal and wonderfully unique.

So lovely Irene!
I love to look at your work.
Thank you for sharing.

(... pitiful, I know, but an effort?) ;op

I think a wistful longing is the birthing place of creativity!

It's that practice that is so important! I admire that you are doing this daily and the faces...I think so lovely and not the least bit scary. the online classes are a wonderful inspiration and I need to enroll in one.

carry on!

ooh, I love the mixed media used in the ancestry art! and I feel myself being wistful because of your superb verse.

Lisa Graham Art said...

Wow...your top WIP is amazingly beautiful. It looks finished to me. Nice work. I really like the composition and the random bits of collage paper I see.

Annie Hamman said...

The one with purple dress is my favorite! I know she has a different background now. Really love everything about this piece.
