Transformation

winter to spring

materials through creativity

and technical input

into 

creation

Stage-1-papers 

images made on the papers with no idea yet how to proceed, just taking them in, observing

Studio-sorting-papers
Setting up and sorting through collage elements, some of these have been around for a while. Every time I create the images on paper I also play and create freely, using my personal symbols and background textures.

After creating a background on a wooden panel, I start laying out the images and let them speak to me.

Background painted, images laid out, title ready

Memories-of-fishing-with-dad-1 

"Memories of Fishing with Dad". 

Background painted, images laid out, title ready.

Next steps are to stitch the papers together, laminate them to the panels, paint away. 

Final outcome: TBD, it is still in the ether, waiting to be found.

It has been too long. 

A long time with much going on. 

too much to tell here.

but now

for you

som

works in progress, exciting, with heart, with passion. 

small pieces 8 inches by 8 inches. resin needs to be added to finish them.

8x8-b 

Now too, a large canoe, inspired by bark canoes and Edwin Tappan Adney. He was born 100 years before me.. he hated artistic interpretations of the bark canoes, but here I am, creating them. Inspired by his meticulously created models. The painted one is very close in size to the models. 

26x60-a

not signed yet, not sure if it is finished, but loving it. Will get a resin finish, trapping the history inside. 

There are also abstracts in the works. but I will keep them to myself for a bit longer yet.
