of course, i cannot take full credit for this page. i did not make the painting in the middle. no, that's by vince...err...somebody...can't remember his name; he's not bad though, is he? bit deaf in one ear, apparently.ok, so i cut the pic out of a catalog, and stuck it down in the center of my page. i was going to use markers and ink pads to extend the image out, but while i was thinking about van gogh, i realized how *TEXTURAL* his paintings are and for some reason said kindergarten projects sprung to mind! i took plain white tissue paper and dabbed at it semi-randomly with various chalk and pigment ink pads to get lots of nice shades of each color. then i ripped the colored bits into smaller mosaic-ish-sized pieces, smeared them with gluestick, and stuck them on all scrunched up.
et voila! "wheatfield with cypresses...AND bits of tissue paper" by lauren and vince! :)
Cool!!!! It's great when something from school actually stuck, eh? Very artsy :)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!! That's one of my fave paintings from that semi deaf guy btw! ;)
ReplyDeletelove it!!! what a great look:) the only thing i remember from kindergarten is a boy named carl peeing on my shoes...how do i work that into my art?
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm sure that vince guy would be tres impressed!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a masterpiece!!! Be very careful of copying the works of masters...Van Gogh was know to drink turpentine and went crazy!! Having any symptoms of that?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to re-visit the time in our lives when art was pure fun.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! This may be your most inventive project yet. I love the simplicity of it, and the color and texture. YTM, girl, YTM. (You're too much!)
