Last week I shared with you a couple of journal page collages that were in the works. I managed to do some more on two of them...

This artichoke still needs more work but it's a start.
I think this one is shaping up nicely.
But still needs more work, too.
***********************************************
I have three collage pieces that I've started on larger canvases...16 x 20...but they are nowhere near completion. Here are two of them...
This one just has a lot of magazine images on it at this point. Nothing else. I want to keep the idea of the door and the stairway...maybe call it Stairway to Heaven!!
This red one has a few lines drawn in the lower right corner, but a long way to go to finish it. This will probably be more abstract...with flowy lines and curves. When I finish these magazine collaged pieces you cannot tell what the images were and very little of them still shows.
I find that starting these paintings with magazine images gives me a jumping off place where I can begin. I will either like some line or some color or something in the images that then leads me to another idea.
I haven't done a face in a long time.
I started this one a couple of days ago.
Not sure where she will end up yet.

I always like to share some of the art that the women in my class are doing. This week two people brought in finished canvases...one a painting and one a collaged piece.
All the little circles on the tree are mirrors. This is beautiful! I especially love the way she's used circles and lots of curvy lines and then the background is all done in square shapes.

On this coming Saturday HB and I are going to an art reception in the evening. The art group I recently joined is having an exhibition and I was lucky enough to get two of my paintings displayed. I hope to have lots of photos next week. Until then, enjoy your week and be sure to do something creative.
