The "Life Puzzle Series: Stages of Man" has come home from its debut at the Headwaters Arts Festival Art Show. I had used my traditional pyrographic lines and fluid acrylic paint to create what I had hoped were bold statements in the show. The Judge at the juried show had indicated that they had a Magritte quality about them. Hmmm!? Chasing Choices Hunger for Acceptance Loves Labours Lost or Won Preparation for Battle Awaiting Godot Coins for Charon The series almost has to be sold as a series and who's going to do that? It's getting hard to know what the public will buy. This has become a concern for many of the artists. No one seems to have an answer as to why art sales are down.
Four Riverbend Artist showed up March 2 to work on the 40+ foot mural. And work they did as noted by the comic pages attached here. The mural will represent 4 seasons with a whimsical theme.
Manuela drew the Sun, the Moon and the Stars for a punch needle image for the cottage -or wherever. It is interesting how you punch the threads in through the back of the canvas and the image is on the reverse side. The orange and yellow threads went through a number of changes to get the correct combination of colours that make up the image. As usual, Manuela added beads and crystals to the canvas. The silver treads of the moon pick up coloration from the other colours in the image.
