IF-Repair

Occulus Repairo - Acrylic

I haven't been able to submit to Illustration Friday in soooo long. I made time for this because I liked the idea so much. NO Scotch Tape was harmed in the making of this piece.

Doorway

Doorway - Mixed Media on Wood

I'm really trying to get back into the swing of things. I haven't done an IF post in awhile, but I've been keeping up with my Art Motivation Group. I had no idea what to do for the "doorway" theme. This just kinda happened without me thinking about it much. I'm liking it more and more. My friends at the group noticed that it has some references to renovating which is what I've been dealing with at home the last several months. I guess this was a therapeutic piece for me!

Raven

Taking Off - Mixed media on Four 3"x3" mini canvases

Another piece inspired by my Art Motivation Group. The theme for this one was "raven."

A Historical Figure

Betsy Ross ATC - mixed media

This is for my Art Motivation Meetup. The theme this week was "A Historical Figure." I wanted to do something larger and more involved but just didn't have time!

Rust

Rust - 5"x4", mixed media

It's been awhile! I've been working hard for our group show, but I found the time to do this for our Art Motivation Meetup. The theme this time was rust. I wanted to do a silhouette of my youngest, framed in a scrapbooking tag I had. I made it rusty with a kit available at the craft store which worked great! I also experimented with Through the Viewfinder photography, shooting some pics through with my digital camera, through my old digital camera. Then I transferred one of the pics to a canvas and painted on it. You can see more of those pics at my Flickr page.

Variations on a Theme

I made it on the postcard for my Art Motivation Meetup's group show!!! I feel so legit! It's the "collection" piece. Come check it out!!!
