this week
in this studio
i tried to capture the magic light that beckons every morning
this started as a painted canvas that has been sitting unfinished.
it needed more than paint
so i collaged using mainly printed tissue papers.
i made a copy of a previous painting and tore it.
then glued it into my journal and painted another face.
on the adjacent page i made a pcket.
on individual pieces of paper i wrote
different dares and what i thought might
happen if i dared do it. it was a
revealing exercise.
another copy of a previous face glued to
my journal. i painted, stenciled
and then collaged a dress
these next are teabags.
hello to paint party friday friends and
others visiting me today.
that's it for my creative week.
how was your week?
Wonderful collaged faces. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerie!
DeleteWow!!! You are such an imaginative artist. With that said you also allow the viewer to use their imagination with your art. Dose that make sense? Well it dose to me. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteHello Nicole, Yes, you make sense. It is an astute observation and comment. Thank you! xo Irene
Deletesome fabulous faces I really like the first one

I agree about the morning light. It is so much more energizing and best to work in. Love your collaged faces.
ReplyDeleteHello fellow early bird, Thank you for visiting, Fran!

I love seeing the morning light and also enjoy the evening light as the sun sets. Really beautiful faces, the bag art and collage Irene! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, When I read your comment, I thought about the light at those times of the day. It's a softer light than when the sun is straight up. I like it very much.

I love your teegag Art, Irene. The journaling spread is lovely too, and the one roses on her head...

Oh these are wonderful. Your faces are so beautiful and soft and evocative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of faces. I particularly like your picture you featured first T x
ReplyDeleteYour teabag faces continue delightful. It is good to remake an old work too - so easy just to put things aside but there's often another approach to be found.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy exploring journal pages. It's interesting how they are made... (not my thing to do).
ReplyDeleteYour teabags are really something unique. Do you collect them in a box or where do you put them, how you use them? Great idea!
Oh my gosh! So creative! I would never have thought of painting on tea bags! Wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteLovely work Irene, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inviting place! I really like your dare exercise! Challenging but also liberating, I imagine. I might try it too! Gorgeous artwork too, I really like how you alter and reuse some of the faces in your journal, and collage bits you added.
ReplyDeletewow, I love your paintings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and your lovely comment :-)
What a sunny beautiful place you have to art in and your pieces are beautiful, delicate and authentic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork! And that collection of teabag-ladies is so lovely. I like how ghostlike they look.
