Time flies.
I worked on several small canvases months ago - added washes of acrylic, unified the cluster into one with color, imagery and text. Together they represent moments and experiences of last summer.
All were tucked away, packed, moved to a new town, unpacked and recently recognized as incomplete work in need of attention. Pondering what to do with these - thought I would honor the content already there and not wipe out with a fresh coat of white....tempting... but chose to try integrating current imagery and thoughts - adding another layer, representing the journey and now.
Work in progress - will continue to explore layers, imagery, more text, maybe collage, and the relationship between each one and the other 8.
Notes about art - and maybe more since life is full. Reflections, experiences, joys, fears, and memories all find their image, layer, color, or text on paper or canvas.

Week 4: Jan 23-29
Exploring layers the past week - acrylic on canvas with pencil and charcoal. Images shown are small details - overall a bit blah - may need to add more contrast or be influenced by color during lunch. Unfinished layers - will show up here again.
