Tada! One of the things I mentioned in my latest newsletter was that I was going to be releasing a few limited edition prints, originals and handprinted items. Some of you may have seen the handprinted giraffe onesies I made for the Handmade Arcade in Pittsburgh or on Saturday at Blue House. I haven't posted those online yet (I'm still trying to figure out the best way to photograph them), but what I do have is my first ever limited edition print. Called Wild Spring Ride, this is an edition of 50 — each signed, titled and numbered and packaged with a Statement of Reproduction to authenticate the edition.
It's a piece that I developed during the Get Your Paint On workshop with Lisa Congdon and Mati McDonough earlier this spring. It is a complete departure in technique for me as it is all painting — no drawing. Using the work of Jennifer Davis as inspiration, this is where my mind flowed—and I have to say I like it! Jennifer's color palette is predominantly pastels, which I usually am not a fan of but she does so in a way that feels menacing and edgy yet oddly appealing. I definitely recommend taking a stroll through her shop or portfolio. And I would also highly recommend the Get Your Paint On course if you are looking to spark your creativity — no experience necessary! I really enjoyed this process and hope to keep up with the painting and develop it more in the coming year or so.
Your painting is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI loved the colors that you used, was of great visual effect.
In the picture of detail I like to see the marks left by the layers of paint.
congratulations,

Beautiful painting! I would love to do that course, I missed it this time round. You did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Yasmin and Rebekah! I wanted to include the "in progress" photo because I went through a long stretch after that where I really missed how the painting looked at that stage and wasn't happy with where it was going — but I got there eventually with the help of the class!! Again, I would definitely recommend it!
