Fall Birds
This is digital manipulation of a pencil drawing, inspired of course by bird in flight.
Another evolution: sequence of stages of…
Twig Tangles VII from start to finish: it has two full size layers, plus later collage additions. As you can see, things changed! I thought it was complete, and even exhibited it, with the “insect” in the center… but it bothered me too much. After the show, I needed to work on it some more, and I used pieces of two brayer work prints to finish this: the mysterious egg and the red leaf are the late collage additions, and I also tweaked a loop of one twig to fade it back (hard to see in the reduced size online images).
Sorry that the WordPress Gallery full size images are in the wrong order. I don’t think I can re-order these without starting over and uploading each in the order desired (and I am too lazy for that today!)
And another piece that no longer seemed finished!
Messing about with a little brayer work to start the fun!
Never done… must improve!
Took down my exhibit at 1012 Coffee Bar yesterday, and now have 2 or 3 pieces from that show that have been bothering me: they need a little more work! So I (think I) finished one yesterday: it pleases me now, and may really be finished:
Twig Tangles VII, with new collage work
The “egg” used to hold an awkward looking fantasy insect, but now it is a egg about to open… and the red leaf adds a bright focus that still keeps the tangled circle… I hope. As it was:
