Catching up on painting nights 15, 16, & 17

As I’ve reported, my posting has been shamefully light lately, but I have been doing a little bit of painting on painting nights.

I’ve been making steady progress on my rose “painting” of the metallic marbled papers. Tonight I added gold leaf. When it dries I’ll report if I stays on! rosesA couple of weeks ago, after coming back from “Making Waves” in Newport, I experimented with my Gelli plate. I’m still experimenting, but I got a few interesting papers.

I think I’ll try to work on these before trying anything else.

Also inspired by my Newport trip, I decided to take a sketch and do some collaging on it. But I sort of lost faith.

Finally, tonight, I did some more work on “Coming.”

I think the background is going to be a lot… more.
