Workshop Patterns 1

Still working in oils and cold wax.  Experimented with cutout patterns in this one to pull it together. Still feel a bit lost in this media but the more I paint I guess the more I will learn.

Format  40 x 40 cm gray cardboard without gesso.

Workshop New Mish Mash

Continuing to cover some old paintings with oils & cold wax.  I have been working on several paintings simultaneously, find this a great way to rest from one to the other and come back with a fresh eye.

Workshop Oil & Cold Wax

Well after a very hot summer,  September 30 x 30 , a trip to Morocco( I am slowly blogging this trip), I have finally returned to my weekly workshops. The way back to painting has not been easy. I have decided to experiment more using oils and cold wax and painting more intuitively in an abstract manner. Not an easy task. My first project was to paint over a collage that was made when we met for brunch at one of the workshop artists, Traudi.  Thinking back it wasn't the best choice.  Haven't a full image of the collage before I started messing around.

Colored Paper Collage

As usual I took pictures of other's holding their works but neglected to have  someone take a picture of mine. After 2-3 sessions  and making a mess, not really knowing where I was going with this we decided that it was complete.
