Java and Ink sketch
Java and Ink
The above is a wash of java on white handmade paper with a black ink sketch. 3" x 5"Phyllie Orzalli gave me the idea of using coffee as a medium. We had an artist's round table discussion on Saturday at Lolet in Sacramento. More to follow
The latter part of 2006 I bought some vases and applied acrylic paint. Below is an example of one that is about 5" tall and about 4" wide at the base. The tea light sits atop a candle dish.
The first day of 07, I painted. Thoughout the day I reflected on the past year and thought about the upcoming year.
The day unfolded.
Janet Paluch, an artist here in Sac, invited me to her open house at her home/studio. What an amazing experience! She has an entire room/studio devoted to her paper artwork. In the studio stands an old library catalog furniture case, which houses her collection of stamps - talk about organized! She makes books that are portable and complete works of art.
During the afternoon at Janet's home, I met Bill who has authored a novel and will soon publish the book. He generously offered to make a copy for me - hand made by an American Artist!
Janet and I have been friends for nearly 20 years. One New Year resolve we made was to have a meet up at least once a month - we're calling it a Vino and Visit!!
Happy New Year to all!!!
