"The Joy of the Pathless Woods"
Acrylic/handmade paper collage
7 3/4" x 15 3/4" MDF panel with 1 3/4" cradle
As always I am highly enjoying working in my new style. I keep waiting to get tired of it, but so far...only thrilled! NEXT will be cherries in a really fun little long skinny. There are times when I don't add words, but with my trees, it seems to work...The longest period of time I spend on these pieces is sitting and getting inside my head until words come out...I sit and think about how I feel when I walk among these trees and eventually a thought forms...I scour poetry, and see if any words feel right, and then I am limited to the size of the piece as to how I will phrase my thoughts...It is only FUN!
The cradles will be my major way to finish my pieces. I leave the wood raw until it hits me as to how I want to finish them...At first I thought I'd only do one thing; stain...but some seem to scream for a different finish. For me that is FUN...again!
So, now off to think on my cherry piece, and do a little work on my garage sale...
HAPPY CREATING!!
