Proportions

 

My elegant art friend Faye sent me a link about proportions.

And art

 Canasta


and finally I prefer this

 to this

I really like O'Keeffe and Cher, but I prefer O'Keeffe's strong, weathered, natural face to Cher's overly manipulated plastic surgery. Women shouldn't look like they have been left in the micro-wave.

Abstract thought

I had a request for an abstract so I made an abstract. I really like abstract art but it is so Hard!  And probably good for me to tackle because if forces you to think about design...you can't be carried by subject matter. The really good painters know this, (I am thinking of O'keeffe and Bateman).

Rats, I had a title for this last night, a fairly decent title and now it has slipped away. Any suggestions?

 I am considering holding some afternoon workshops in beautiful downtown Canal Flats. How to make and use stamps, gelatin prints, rust paper, collage paper. Would anyone be interested?
