I've been presenting winter landscapes with my students. We looked at one by Vincent and had great discussions. Now I'm really enjoying the  first snow:

  Artist's Shed

 Neighbor's Barn

working out some kinks in new work...

 

I covered the edges with black board to cover the white canvas, but have some holes between the pieces at the corners. Need black canvas, but will still need the black board, I think. I have two questions... 1. do I need to something on the stones?  2. or some black lines in the inked area ?

November's open studio will be on Nov. 16, since our neighbor's mother is celebrating 100th birthday on the 9th.
Visited Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, NH

I've been working on my drawing skills using some backyard items, since we've had such perfect Indian Summer weather. Here are photos of  a metal chair and the artists shed...

Working on more new pieces during Open Studio.

love the leaf

maybe it needs a poem....

I'm working out specifics for art work to look something like this:

 

thinking of a title something like.... "stones, paper, ink"

 

Also, I got some pretty good pics of the bluebirds who stopped by a week ago

October 12th is the next OPEN STUDIO here at 7New Road. I'll be using stencils and masks with ink sprays and watercolor splatter.

This spread was done with the ink on the stencil, flipped and pressed onto the page.
