... And yet a few more....
And here are a couple more multi-media paintings that I did in my
Gut Art class. I must like the number 3 as the top one again has 3 goddesses in it. Can you spy them?
The second one as well... maybe even a fourth and the last one... well I'll let you decide. I like the movement in all of these... flow!
What is so cool is that the images make themselves out of the back ground. Mystèle, what an incredible class. I am already game to start the next round ;)
... And a bit more...
This is another GUT ART production, perhaps my favorite. This is the first time I used palette knifes for painting. Very fun! They add a whole other dimension, not to mention texture. This one was inspired by the artwork of Michael Banks. His paintings are so imaginative and original. They all have a story to tell, like this one. His art has a naive quality and is full of truth, innocence, but also depth and simplicity.
A little bit of gut art...
This is an acrylic painting I did while in the wonderful workshop by Mystele Kirkeeng called GUT ART! I heartily reommend it! We get inspiration from the various virtual field trips she takes us on and from her own enlightened and fun techniques. It is also about fun and excavating your personal muse/artist ;) So this picture is of me and my sissies dancing under the full moon ;) It was inspired by the field trip of Pilar Rios' work, a beautiful Chilean artist who paints strong female figures, but without faces. I love it!

This is the paperbag book I made for the TAG, which I fill with elements I find in my travels. I made it with favorite scraps and materials.
TAG map
This is the map I made for the TAG (Travelling Artists Guild). Notice in the first one, the form of a tree and in the one immediately above, just crystals that show the way through the dark. It is a map of the underground.
The month of September
calendar page
This is the month of September that I created for our artcalendar group. I absolutely loved the feel. I had prepared the backgrounds in May! Good thing because I was behind... and then used acrylic paint on stamps, cut out some dahlias from some beautiful fabric I got from joggles then edged them with painsticks. They turned out to be symphonies of color which made my heart sing :)
I love this darling little elemental... she is like a little ice fairy. She seems so pure and innocent, and yet so powerful... She too is made from a spool. At the base is a little stone bracelet that I have wrapped around. I love the giant white strawberry she is holding and the white velvet leaves that act as wings. Her adorable face comes from an Etsy vendor: alteredrevelations. She is clothed in blue silk ;)
This is my art angel with an attitude; I call her my love angel. She is really herself and won't put up with crap... although she is pure love ;) She is made from sticks I picked up on my walk and of pieces of material I had on hand. I just love her. She is also wearing a piece of rose quartz which makes her so loving ;) I cannot look at her and be in a bad mood. She just makes me smile. Hope she does you too! Her adorable face was purchased from an Etsy vendor, Linsart!
This is my little archangel Jophiel that sits on my shelf and brings peace to my office. She sports some interesting accessories and is made from a spool like the others. Here face comes from an Etsy vendor moldedmoonbeams... The star comes from my from Christina's great store, SKYBLUEPINK. She keeps the energy and vibrations up in my office and so I am so very grateful for her positive presence!
This is a box that I was inspired to turn into a little carrier house for one of my angels. It wraps around itself as has a magnetic closure. I collaged a napkin and other angelic relics to it and found the perfect sort of handle to ensure that the recipient opens the right side and does not destroy the box ;)
