The reclining figure is Tombow marker, water and brush on bristol paper.
The torso is Tombow marker, water and brush, pastel and ink on bristol paper.
I am just starting to use the markers and brush again. I am way out of practice, but it's a skill worth redeveloping and developing further.
I don't know what a Tombow marker is. Or, maybe I just forgot, LoL!
ReplyDeleteThese paintings almost look like 2 people are intimately involved in them.
A couple of your more interesting works.
Love the colors on these.What is more amazing is how prolific and devoted your are!
ReplyDeleteyes you are very prolific :-) this is so good, good vibrations :-) and inspirations
ReplyDeleteI love both and in special way the second one, is really powerfull and strong
THey are both gorgeous. I think I like the top one. It fits my grey sky today.
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed with the drama expressed in each. More then drawing and color, a story…
ReplyDeleteI like the second. It draws me in. Can't say why. Your color palette is always great.
ReplyDeleteyou've gone fauve on us
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you molded the body with color in the second.
ReplyDeleteJean,
ReplyDeleteI would like to get a copy of your leaf lady. Or the original.
How? Let me know.
Thanks, Cafe.
ReplyDeleteTombow is a brand of water-soluble marker.
Helen and Laura, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely slowing up a bit because I'm trying to let my injured thumb heal. The markers and brush are easier on my hands.
Margaret, grey sky? Strange, it's not the right time of year for that in LA. (June gloom, not December.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anthony.

Thanks, Pierre.
ReplyDeletePA, are you calling me beastly?
ReplyDeleteAH, thanks.
ReplyDeletePierre, I just uploaded (or downloaded, I'm not really sure what I'm doing) the leaf lady to imagekind, so you should be able to order a print through them.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a terribly standard size, but you could crop and/or mat it.
Enjoy!
I like the look of these and the colors. Kind of like melting stained glass.
ReplyDeleteAnn, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic and fantasy-ish too.

ReplyDelete"Fauvism"
ReplyDeleteA term I haven't used in forever.
I went rummaging through the bookshelves to find a text book I've kept back from college days. The only one outside of Painter's Formulas. Anyhow, I think it covers the years 1900-1945.
Theories of Modern Art by Herschel B Chipp
check it out on Amazon and read the reviews
I recommend it. Really puts you into the context of the times
Thanks, Shanna. I love the swans on your blog.--If Austin weren't already the city of bats, it could be swan city.
ReplyDeleteThanks, PA. It's another example of joke-making gone awry on the internet: I should have stuck a smiley face on my question; I know the term and the movement's short history. (But, no, I wasn't alive for it [smiley face here].)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I did get the joke. I just wanted to avoid having to use "LOL"
ReplyDeleteYay! I love it when someone gets my joke.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I tend to be so literal-minded and gullible, that I frequently don't get jokes, when I can't see and hear the joke-teller.
Fascinating especially the first one. Calmness but only the person not the setting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristin.
ReplyDeleteI prefer #2, both color and form (word choice?). But Woman Among Leaves 12/14 and Seated Woman 12/9 are still my faves of recent days (although #3 on 12/14 is also awfully nice).
ReplyDeleteI did look up the DaVinci. Thank you.
Don't know if can articulate it, but thinking about your work, which I like most and why, might be making me more interested in art in general. Sounds like a good thing, doesn't it?
Banjo, I've been thinking a lot more about poetry, since I started reading your blog, so "back atcha."
ReplyDeleteGot to be a good thing.
Rainbow Torso is amazing!
ReplyDeletebeautiful
you could make a body 'net' -
the texture is very alive!
hugs!
