1. Is that your work?

It's REALLY stunning! I love the colors & texture with the overlapping wrinkled paper. What are those little glass beads? So pretty!


:loveya:

3. My husband's, I told Heidi I'd post some work from his new studio space...

:hi: :hi: :hi: It's called Free Trade, and I think you figured it out already cause it's the great crunch of trade policies impacting upon one another; glad you like it as it has great atmospherics too

:headbang:

2. Nice!

I like it, particularly the watercolor + glass bead combination. :thumbsup:

[bridgit]

4. Glad you like it too, Richardo...

His new series incorporates optical plastics, and that's what you're seeing there; the 1st in the series :hi:

7. Neat stuff.

[bridgit]

8. hi, applegrove..

glad you like, i think his stuff is cool :hi:

[RainDog]

10. that's interesting

I really like the play/3d on the Katsushika with the clear beads that look like water coming right off the page, and the perspective back to Fuji. I bet this is great to look at in person with the textures coming out at you, and the contrast between the beads v the paper.

[bridgit]

14. yes, my husband refers to that as 'atmospherics', and will use such likelihoods...

as others would a color in a palette i.e. joy, hard to find in a tube but seeing people smile in proximity to it i think is cool :)

[Dangerously Amused]

19. I like it.

No, I just looked at it again and I love it.


Is it an installation work? Or is it all one piece inc. the wooden background?

[bridgit]

21. collage, all one piece, redwood stain & sealed birch panel 3'x4'...

the prep work on the panel alone took nearly two weeks :hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

23. Ah, birch. That was my next question.

I wondered about the grain. It's beautiful!


:hi:

[bridgit]

25. yep, it's a finish grade wood panel like in some rich guy's house or whatever...

B-)

[Heidi]

22. I lovelovelovelovelove this, bridgit!

Please give him my conratulations! GORGEOUS! (And I do not envy him the preparation of that big panel. :yoiks: )

:applause: :bounce:

[bridgit]

24. Heidi!!

Watching him work is a study in patience, note the little poke holes in the watercolor paper when you get a chance...

He laid out & executed the whole tsunami thing in like two weeks, works in very watery acrylic tints (like watercolor I guess); but after it dried laid in on the floor, Tim started walking all over it & clawing at it. I was all like,

"Tim! Get off of daddy's art work!!" hubby's all, "No, he's fine, let him do his thing."

What am I going to do with these two characters :rant: glad you like though :pals:

[swag]
