A definite need for some clean-up time when I get back to the studio tomorrow.

Collage fragments I – IV

After yesterday’s monoprint fragments I thought I would revisit the collage from Day 268 and find a few more fragments for today.

Yesterday, on another inspiring early morning walk along the Admiralty Trail on the boundary of the Pacific Spirit Regional Park, the sunlight filtering through the high overhanging branches created a canopy of colour that at times simply took our breath away.

We stepped aside for the joggers and then met the two little Papillon sisters Cricket and Bella, aged six and seven, who kindly pawsed and posed for me.

Autumn in all its glory, once again, I hope you agree.

Monoprint fragment I

Monoprint fragment II

Monoprint fragment III

Today was one of those perfect early Autumn days here in Vancouver that began with a morning walk along Spanish Banks and through the Pacific Spirit Park, of which more tomorrow…

…and an afternoon at the opera for a memorable matinee performance of Rigoletto by Vancouver Opera.

With no studio time today I thought I would revisit the monoprint from Day 274 and capture some of its sections in close up. It’s always interesting to find paintings within paintings and today was no exception.

Today in the studio became a homage to Jackson Pollock, an artist who broke all boundaries.

Grounds for Dismissal

Today’s image is created entirely with freshly brewed espresso and discarded espresso coffee grounds on watercolor paper, and is the first painting of a new art movement to be called Espressoism, a movement of which I am at present the first and I believe only member! You are very welcome to join of course with your own coffee masterpieces, which I very much look forward to seeing.
