A brief interlude...

Deeply Rooted 

Original Acrylic, 36x24" on Archival Gessobord with 2" birch sides,
 Ready-To-Hang, $725

I had an emergency run to my printer today, about a four hour drive, round trip. I had planned to paint today and do the run tomorrow, but I happened to notice the weather late last night and there is an expected rain, snow, ice mix tomorrow. I am too buried from reality in my studio these days. It's nice to make a break for it and see how the world is moving along. I am currently sitting in a coffee shop in Buffalo, MN working on this blogpost. I overhear the staff chatter. The burrista just admitted that she's been making one of the drinks incorrectly for years, as she trains in a new person. She laughs it off. Someone's been getting a cinnamon bonus every time they come in. Sometimes it's good to notice the little bonuses we encounter daily. My bonus today is some thinking time. As I drive home I will visualize my next painting...the steps I need to take to achieve what I am seeing in my mind. It rarely turns out the way I envision it. I have to go with what is happening, and adjust my reactions accordingly. But it's nice to have a roadmap of sorts...to move in the general direction to get the feel that I want.

Textures. Today I have posted a painting where I used tissue paper and molding paste to create actual textures that rise off the surface of the painting. It was a blast to play with the molding paste...I used my fingers to create the texture of the tree trunk. It took me back to finger painting as a kid. It was surprisingly soothing and fun. The sky beneath the branches is tissue paper scrunched and applied with polymer medium. The texturing was done pre-painting. Trees have always intrigued me. They are as demonstrative as hands. For me they are especially vocal when framed by sky. There is a lone tree at the top of the hill in my town and every time I drive up that hill the sky is different. That is a bonus!
