Day Two of Art Redux

After being unable to have time to get to the comments as they came in yesterday, I thought it would be worth it to answer/comment on thoughts and ideas in todays posts. Above is another of my unfinished masterpieces (channeling the Grinch here...."HA!" ....have to get the nasal inflection right!) that I do really LIKE but don't think I will want to finish the way I did the others in the series and no, I have no photos of those. They were done in an extremely rushed time and I was doing good to get the paint out of the brushes.
But I digress.......a lot......

So I think from the comments that we established the fact that we all have these items, and can't dump them. Now, I believe it was Jean that was asking about the canvas panel---yes, these are the flat, cheap panels. They take a lot of abuse, are relatively inexpensive and can be mounted to other heavier panels, objects, etc. for permanence. I order by the box from Dick Blick and get a humdinger price. I don't know about the quality of other companies; Blick's are good so I continue to use them. (read that.....I have a LOT) Jean also mentioned about a face being worked into the piece in yesterday's post and that is odd because that was the first thing I thought of when I was taking it to the worktable. So that's a possibility!
Linda suggested that everyone send me a *little something* to use or be inspired by, and I won't say no to something in the mail!!! That's a possibility. I'm such an unscrupulous mooch...... ;-)
Pam suggested we all go to our poor little misfit art drawer, take something out and either:
A. Make it worse---or---
B. Make it better!
She also intimated she has a lot to choose from.....I doubt that!
Audrey said she was considering digging out some old painting and seeing what she could do with it! You go girl!!!!!
Val has seen my studio so she knows how much stuff lays unfinished and we both commisserate about it. Yes, she has the little lost artworks too!
So I am hoping tomorrow to really get down to business on the piece, or spend a lot of time going through my computer files of images, looking for things that might bring new life into the work. And I am pretty sure rubber stamps and paperclay will be involved. By the way, the paperclay website has other types than what I use, and I might just have to---at some time in the near future---order one or two of the other varieties to see how they handle with the stamps.
Well, we've bared our sins and souls here, so you know the daily mantra:
Let's go make art!
That stays out in the open.....on display..... ;-)

Pax.
