Found Myself in a Aquarium

I am always surprised by what comes out in the "underpants" paintings done by various audio prompts. I also find the editing process much more difficult than the intuition process with the prompts and turning the work between each prompt. This process keeps me from getting too attached and loving specific areas.

I am certainly surprised by the amount of these "underpants" I have piled under the bed, most with no editing, but at least I am getting more familiar with the wide amount of techniques. I am slowly getting used to working with acrylics, painting with paper towels, smudging with damp paper towels, making puddles of water and dropping wet paint.

I would certainly check out this class by Joan Fullerton. Only open till 29th February!

What Ever is on Hand

This week at workshop we celebrated Tu B Shevat. which is "The New Year of the Trees". Neomi brought a cake which she described as what I had on hand, a little bit of this and that. It was delicious! 

That description certainly fits this piece I am working on.  I found this board that I had pasted pieces of newspaper collage. I couldn't remember what lesson or why I did it, thought it would be great for some of those leftover paints that I hate to throw away. Already has about 3 or more layers and I am not counting!
