Boxes for Charity

These are the two boxes I painted for the Target Gallery's annual fundraiser for the March of Dimes.  They will be on exhibition from March 9 - 17 at the Target Gallery of the Torpedo Factory.  There will be an Art Party on March 15th.

Boss Hog  10 x 10 acrylic collage on wood panel

Needs Title and a good photographer

This is a 12 x 12" wooden box assemblage with many found objects from my recent excursions to the thrift,
shops, antique shops and Community Forklift.   I do not have a lighting set-up to show the beautiful shadow
that is cast by the hinge, lock and key.

Second in my Barnyard Series - Rooster

This rooster was painted in much the same way as the little piggy.  I used one of Bob's old paintings, covered it with strips of newspaper and book pages.  Then I drew the rooster, painted around it and, lastly, painted the rooster.  He is 14 x 20."

Happy News

Just learned that Abstract Landscape has been given an Award of Excellence by the curatorial committee of The Hill Center.  What a pleasant surprise.

This Little Piggy Stayed Home

Version 2, cropped.

Here she is, all finished.  See below for description of how I painted her.  Version 1 uncropped.

This is a failed watercolor.  I glued down various strips and pieces of paper, some pages from an old paperback,
some strips from sheetmusic, and some collage papers.  Then I sketched Ms Piggy onto it and painted around her with
fluid acrylic paint.  The final step was to paint Ms Piggy, leaving some of the collage pieces show through and covering some of them up.
