I should be excited, but I am not.
My painting, Sutured, was accepted by Katherine French into the "Community of Artists" show at the Danforth Museum, but something about the whole experience has left me feeling a little empty.
Maybe I need a break from all these juried shows.
Anywhoooo,
this piece here I did after a wonderful workshop taught by Randy LeSage at the Worcester Art Museum. We spent a day looking into the life (whooo-ee) and work of Joan Mitchell.
I was previously unaware of her as a printmaker, so that was interesting.
This work is a monotype that I worked into with pastels.

Oh I love her too. I didn't know she was a printmaker. I'll have to look at my book of her work again.
ReplyDeleteI think you would find it interesting.
ReplyDeleteShe worked collaboratively with poets, resulting in beautiful books.
