I’m counting the ways—a new assemblage of love

oh boy, I am definitely in a rut. I seem to keep being invaded by emotions of love while I’m working these days. Perhaps it’s because Matt and I are celebrating our 20th Day-we-met-iversary. (we’ll be married 16 years this July). I’m finding myself reminiscing a lot.

So in celebration of all this love, here is a new assemblage I just finished up, called “I’m Counting the Ways”.

Come see it in person at 55 White Place during Open Studios this weekend, and let me know what you think.

More Produce! Making art never tasted so good!

Here is more of my work in progress! I’m really enjoying this new artistic path. It’s something I started playing around with last year for my HC Studio show in this piece. Essentially I’m working from a black background instead of white. It makes you look at negative space in an entirely different way.

These are the little produce inspired pieces that I promised you yesterday in my Ketchup Post.

At this point they are all about 1/2 way done. This technique requires me to work on multiple pieces at the same time to keep from going mad. You have to keep letting the paint dry before going onto the next step…My mom said patience is a virtue—I say it’s more of a necessity.

Scroll down to take a look at each of the finished pieces!

Better yet, stop by this weekend for

Getting Ready For Brookline Open Studios 2011

My ketchup in progress…

My ketchup finished!

I dig ketchup. Seriously, when I eat fries (which is not often), I do so purely as a vehicle to get more ketchup in my daily diet.

This is a new direction that I’m trying out. This piece is on the larger side and I have been working on a similar technique with produce in a much smaller size.

Stay tuned for a sneak peak on those!

In the meantime, mark your calendars for Open Studios in Brookline, this weekend!
