Art Redux.......

The other day when I posted "The Lovers" I mentioned it was Salvage Art. You know, you start those collages/paintings/drawings with a great idea. Great! It's wonderful!
And then it falls completely flat.

Plop.

No resuscitation possible on the original design.

If you're like me, you stow it away somewhere until one of two things happens:

1. You totally forget about it for years and then find it on a cleaning spree and dump it,

-or-

2. You shove it where you can't be disgraced by it and THEN find it on a cleaning spree and think hmmmmmmm.....possibilities here.

I've decided on option number two for this one. And anything I do along the way, I'll post. At least until it hits the point where, once again, it goes PLOP or is disgracing me...... ;-)

First off, this is a 12"x12" canvas panel. I covered it with different papers, used liberal amounts of gel medium, then started adding a bit of gesso, ink and color. And then the three images.

I'm not sure where I thought I was going with them; then or now. They are just *there*....floating around in a somewhat triangular space and not doing a thing for me. I still like them--it just needs more.

A lot more. More color, more tying in to the whole piece, more rhyme or reason with them....MORE. So that is what I am going to try and work on bit by bit, in between a couple of other things that need done, and real work. And I'll take pics and post and I really would appreciate critique as this goes along.

You won't offend me.

And besides, with most of you, I don't know where you live! LOL!!! So you can be honest and say it sucks rocks (or glass, as the case may be!) and I'll just sob a while and then put my *big-girl* panties on and get back to the art and consider your comments!!!

Let's have some fun with this one, okay?
Now go have a great day and don't forget----GO MAKE ART!!!!!

Pax.
