Whoops! This week has gotten away from me. But I promised to let you know each week how I was doing on my 2 goals of painting something new each week and finishing up something old also. I had them done yesterday but didn’t have a chance to post until today.
GOAL # 1 (New Painting): I worked on a large acrylic painting this week and am making good progress on it. I finished 3 small origami paper “paintings” that I call “Mini Ori’s”. Here they are on the table, finished, with the mats and materials next to them and another small painting also.
They are each priced at $45.00 plus tax and make nice gifts because they are small. The images are 4″ X 6″ and in the frames, they are each 5″ X 7″. They have a hanger and a stand so they can either hang or be displayed on a shelf or table.
I went to Aaron Brothers and bought frames and finished them up and here are photos of 2 of them.
They are made of beautiful Japanese origami papers, cut and glued in place in symmetrical and/or asymmetical designs. Each one is unique. There is no painting in them because they are all collage.There is some gel pen line work to finish them.
GOAL # 2 (UFO or Unfinished Object): For the second goal of the week, I cut a lot of business cards that had been in a pile forever and I painted the edge of a giclee on canvas (“Parallels”–words about women and wine) so that it can be hung without a frame if desired. Price: $140 plus tax.
Did I meet my goals this week?
Yes! Could I have done more? Yes!
Wonderful work! You are inspiring me to actually make some goals!
