The Fridge

One thing people could not get enough of was the fridge that I borrowed from Sharla to hold the pigment. All the decorations are from our house, so you get to see some of my personal effects...

First Phase Complete!

I am pleased and relieved that Community Dialogues is past the first phase of collaboration. From the opening night of ART/GROUND where a number of artists started panels 5 and 6 to Sat. and Sun. when many of you stopped by to participate in the first phase of the painting process on 3 and 4. I look forward to your continued support by posting pictures, comments, or suggestions on each of the pages. I have recently updated pages 3, 4, 5, and 6 with new slideshows and more pictures from the opening.

Preparation




I am a week away from the show. For the past few weeks I have been trying a number of materials for this project. Here I am using a mixture of Golden GAC 800, water to thin, and Flow Aid I am applying it to multiple backgrounds; Golden's Absorbent Ground (white), and rice paper mounted with flour glue on a wood panel.
