Ok so this is an eclectic post but I figure I will fit these two in since they were both done this week. The portrait (see enlarged version below) is from a weekly figure drawing session. And the collage (also enlarged below) is in my one medium size collage sketchbook. Starting with the collage, well,Continue reading “New Collage & Drawing Workshop”

Spontaneous Collages
Some weekends I have either no specific project in mind or am in the waiting mode regarding another project. This weekend I found myself in the waiting mode for a printing project to dry. It is so humid here that ink can take up to a week to dry, sometimes even longer, depending on howContinue reading “Spontaneous Collages”
Paper Exchange Collages
An online group through the Plastic Club, an historic artist club in Philadelphia, hosted a paper exchange. I received a pack of hand decorated papers as well as photographs. The idea was to use the papers to make collages. I used the papers in conjunction with things I made or saved. Here they are below.Continue reading “Paper Exchange Collages”
Portrait of Claudia
This is a portrait I did of my friend Claudia. It looks absolutely nothing like her. Claudia does not clad herself in Jarlsberg cheese wrappers, or any cheese wrappers for that matter. I am not even sure if Claudia likes cheese, but then again, who doesn’t like cheese???? Odder than the dress I choose forContinue reading “Portrait of Claudia”
Continuing the Paper Quilt Sketchbook Series

In addition to making the paper quilt collages, IContinue reading “Continuing the Paper Quilt Sketchbook Series”

Not long ago I wrote about making small scale collage paper quilts inspired by the Gees Bend quilters. I am still working on these collages but decided my experience with these designs would be greatly enhanced if I also made drawings of the tiny paper quilts. I was not using the sketch book pages oppositeContinue reading “Drawing the Paper Quilt Sketchbook”
Paper Quilt Sketch Book
Recently I took a virtual workshop through the National Gallery of Art on collage book covers. The inspiration for the collages were based on the Gees Bend Quilters, a group of quilters from Gees Bend Alabama known for their unique quilting style. While I did not make a book cover, I did make several veryContinue reading “Paper Quilt Sketch Book”
The Week Ending: February 25th, 2022
Every once in awhile I like to recap some pleasant or unusual highlights from my week. This is such a difficult time in the world, I figured I would share some more mundane, pleasant activities. I drove back from Maryland on Monday after visiting with my family and the weather was very nice. Since thisContinue reading “The Week Ending: February 25th, 2022”
Another Sketchbook Drawing with a Longwinded Caption
Hello! Once in awhile I like to add a stream of conscious caption to a sketch book image. The caption with the image below reads: This dwelling is Lockerby Towers, located just Southeast of Parsippany, New Jersey. Amenities include a small grove of trees providing shade and a fine place for an afternoon nap outdoors.Continue reading “Another Sketchbook Drawing with a Longwinded Caption”
