Finishing Art and Things

2010, Uncategorized / /
I have been busy finishing stuff.  I love to start things and to play with images and layers and paints and then leave it in a pile or drawer or box.  So this show at the Stetson Gallery has motivted me to finish several small prints  and cards and mixed media pieces.  I made some prints of several mixed media pieces that I have in the show.  so though some of this has been frustrating, I feel that I have made some good progress.  I am so ready for the spring planting rush to be finished.  I need more time in the studio and less time on the farm!  Enjoy!

So May is slipping away.  I have been working on the farm too much and not much time in the studio having fun.  I have had a couple of great workshops at the studio and at Essex Art Center in Lawrence.  I am trying to finish up some prints for some local shows.  And I am missing my play time it all seems like work this month.  Hmmm?
I got an interesting call for enteries from A4 International Contemporary printmakers and another local call for artists to submit work to a new gallery in  Newburyport, MA.

Great Day in the Studio

2010, Haverhill / /
Five artists who call themselves, Confetti, came to the studio today to play with gelatin prints. It always amazes me how much I can learn when I am suppose to be the teacher.  I love to let students learn by doing and they always think of new ways to create interesting images.  With gelatin printmaking the possiblities do seem endless. We tried Daniel Smith inks, speedball inks, golden open acrylics, drawing paper, tracing paper, maps and newsprint.  All in all, I think everyone had fun and created some interesting prints.  They all left wanting to come back for more.  Yippie!
