I've been painting as usual. I just finished taking a creative class called : Black and White, cells and planets. It was fun even though black and white isn`t really my thing!
These two next mix-media paintings are my favorite ones. The first is called "Puckered up" because it reminds me of a little puckered up face. Maybe after eating a really sour candy? I used string gel to create those smooth and unbroken white circle lines. Also, I used several different types of fabric and paper to create the circles. The objective was to create texture. This painting was also just an exercise, but it turned out great!

I really like how things from the exploration/exercise I did peer out from under all that paper. I also like it because it's really 3D. I call it "Squares and Cells".

This next one is called "Comet", and if you haven't guessed why, it's because of the frilly tail that is located under the circle. Now you might have a hard time figuring out the shape of this one, it's because the circle does indeed poke out of the canvas.

The closup reveals the materials used: some frilly ribon, fiber paper, some black and white lace papers, and black and white paper ribon. I also used the string gel with some pearl colored acrylic paint over the white paper ribbon.

This next one is called "The sheep". It"s pretty self-explanotory.

I put this closeup so that you may see the material used. It's really paper maché material that hasen't been soaked in water. To make it stay put, I put some acrylic medium over it.

This painting is called "Three little moons", because it reminds me of a planet with three moons in the sky. An interesting tidbit about his painting is that I intentionally left some lace paper peer out from the edges.

And the last painting is called "Three little cells". I used so many different kinds of paper to do the cells, which is what makes it neat.

Hope you enjoyed!
