new pictures on friday
I started a new series titled Paintings About Sitting today. I really, really enjoyed doing these, from dying the coffee filters with food coloring to cutting and deco-patching the pieces onto the canvas and finally adding in my sitting ladies. Fun, fun, fun!

in the initial stages of this picture, i felt like an imposter had trespassed and left their painting on my easel. this is beautiful but so not me

this was actually the first canvas i covered. at this point it was just me playing with colored coffee filters and glue

i thought it might work better sideways. the dome-like structured looked a little too silly for my liking

paintings about sitting: the very first one, 2011, dyed coffee filters and acrylic on canvas, 50cm x 50cm

i love the size of these 50cm by 50cm canvases: easy to stretch, easy to move around the studio and so much fun to experiment with

paintings about sitting: girl with letter, 2011, dyed coffee filters and acrylic on canvas, 50cm x 50cm
It’s like the girl with the letter is imprisoned. The colors are bloody. I feel for her.
that’s IT. I am paintig tomorrow. it’s been to long!!
See I can’t even spell the word… I have been drawing and doing watercolor but haven’t touched a canvas for months. This will change manana. Awesome idea the coffee filters! You have so much fun!!
