One Inch Project: Experiment

 

This painting was an experiment done to see if I could use loose edges on a one square inch painting. It got a lot larger than one square inch--probably closer to two square inches, give or take. The paper is 4" x 4".  

That's part of the nature of experimentation, of course, just trying it to see if it works. I'm actually very encouraged by this one. I like the painterly edges, which seem to give it a sense of movement, adding to the exuberant feel. 

So I think I'll play around some more, respecting the scale more carefully, to see if I can retain the joy, energy and drama in this transitional piece. 

I expect some future paintings will have neatly taped edges, while others escape, depending on what each painting needs. 

Yellow Lane

I'd like to take this dusty little road out to the mountains and do some more exploring and painting! Last month I went to a monthly craft gathering at our church and while there I played around painting this one. Sometimes when I talk and paint simultaneously I find my hands doing the work almost independently. I was on a "new road" with the gals there--a good one, I think.

Slippery Slope

The wintery weather has inspired these snow paintings. We're supposed to see more snow tonight, they say. I'm glad to be tucked safely in at the end of that road...
