Dancing Lines Finale

All large tasks are completed in a series of starts. (Neil Fiore)

Remember my dancing lines? Well I think I have brought them to some sort of finale! Well until I decide otherwise!

Did some white Posca dots, did some veiling, more crayons, and new orientations. When I did some veiling some of the watercolor crayon marks bled.

Final resolutions coming! Para Para!!!

Jane's advise!

Finally: resolve the piece. This, of course, is the hard part, and it is up to you to find a way to do this. Take your time. Each piece will be different, and some will not lend themselves so easily to resolution. Do your best. If your piece is at a standstill, unresolved, leave it. Move on. Don’t agonize, and feel free to post pieces that you feel are unresolved. Just don’t say “This Piece Sucks” or anything like that!

Dotty's advise!

Find your brave spot!

Two College Street Collage

Collage is the noble conquest of the irrational, the coupling of two realities, irreconcilable in appearance, upon a plane which apparently does not suit them. (Max Ernst)

Imagery from my alumni bulletin. What memories I have of my College on 2 College.Street Providence, R.I.  It has probably changed immensely, should visit through google maps.  I remember walking through the Museum to one of the buildings, all was connected. Felt that all the artifacts were my close friends.

I like how this came out. Limited colors and sort of grid format. Love working with the transparent collage papers, have to make some more.
