I don't know why I was sweating it so much, other than thinking I had to be exact with the colours that Sharon had offered plus allowing this insurance crap to get the best of me. I thought this was going to end up reinforcing my self-perception and declaration that I'm not a "joiner". But after I loosened up quite a bit and asked the question "how can I make these colours reflect me?" I first answered that it had to be abstract and my second answer was, it had to be linear in design. I flipped through collections of images that I had and came across the decaying structure of a mud house with exposed wood and went from there. Its a postcard and I like it. Neocolour II crayons where applied first, followed by some wax pastels, followed by prismacolour pencils.
Wow these colors just pop and sing all over the place. It is funny how much we can create once we get out of our own way, yes?
ReplyDeleteso small ... so powerful!
ReplyDeleteAren't the crayons fun! Nice use of color and stitching- and I hope the insurance beast is on its way to being tamed.
ReplyDeleteThank for the link to Toni Morrison's letter endorsing Obama. It was lucid,well written, and expressed many feelings I share with her.
The colors are beautiful, and so is the linear design.
ReplyDeleteHope things are looking better for you. Love this piece. Love the colors for this time of year - very healing. I'm sort of celebrating tonight. Hope you are, too. Yes, we can.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely postcard! I love the water-based oil pastels and the addition of the wax pastel and colored pencils really gave texture to the design! This is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous blend of colors!
