More abstract needlepoint

This is a project from the back-burner. A needlepoint created by printing my painting Russian Dolls onto mesh. Enough with the painting for the day!

Revisit

Sometimes I have to change things up. Like this painting. I no longer like it. So it's getting a redo.

Orange you glad?

Today's piece is going to be just my favorite colors. I was reading about Egyptian Blue on wikipedia (fascinating, it and Han Purple are to 2 first synthetic pigments) so that's where I started. I predict this'll get a lot uglier before we're thru.

Apologies for the pictures, the wood panel is 36"x48" and hard to photo on my easel.

Color me epiphanized

It's a slow day at the shop and I found this article about Kristy Gammill on honestlywtf.com.  Her work intrigues me.  Like me, she's 34 years old (but with teenagers- WOH!)  Quelle surprise, I love her pallette and technique.  And looking at her paintings instantly triggered an epiphany about my own work. I think my paintings are masculine.  What's that mean huh? 

Needlepoint tapestry

Oh lord, I've been slaving away on this tapestry for my brother.

It is in your self-interest to find a way to be very tender.

Soyez si tendre! Familiar at all? Begins with a Jenny and ends with a Holzer. But so, I've been working on this since July mebbe? Really cranking it now to the detriment of all my other art.

Busy work...

Time to gloss! (A little Giants MadBaum February on the wall)

Mixing colors cont...

Last time this was pinky red... Now it's very green. Or a bit Christmassy which I don't mind but there's still work to do.
