The Artworks

The Orcas Island Artworks is now open for the 2017 Season

Each year the Artworks closes for the month of January to refresh the gallery.  With over 50 members  participating in this Artist Co-op it is always a challeng for our hardworking creative staff to create a new fresh look to the display in the gallery.  The day before our re-opening we gather to welcome our new members and view the new setup.  Once again I am truly amazed and delighted with the results.

Below is our display.. my paintings and Dicks glass.

Pretty much fun to be part of this very talented and creative group of artist.

Neutrals 1

Explorations in monochromatic palette ... compositional lines

More to go on this one

Neutrals

Been playing with monocratic.... this one is kind of dramatic... more to come

Marking Marking/ Grid underlying structure.

                   Today I played around with penciled grid structure to see what would emerge.  

Didn't really seem to follow the grid but getting used to the idea of having a grid to give structure to pieces.   Also there is the challenge of just making marks to express emotions

Seems like the lines are full of energy .. then tried a larger piece 

then I tried playing with blue

Another Artworks Submission

From the pastel class with Diana Sanford I play around with acrylic.... kind of lost the pastel, but 

enjoyed the process.  

Both are acrylic and collage on paper

Another Artworks Piece

                More exploration joining acrylic with pastel...  will be fun to see what is hung.

Pieces in Process

Chronicling the stages of mark making exploration on 8 x 10 canvases

Beginning stages of "activating" the blank cassavas, shown in steps.

The following pieces might be consider mid-stages

 

Where to go from here... maybe nowhere... just playing around to see what emerges.
