Getting ready

I have selected the works to go into the Beacher Cafe, they will be hung tonight. It's been a bit of work getting postcards done, labels for the paintings, & of course finishing the paintings.

this is the one that was originally mainly red. I painted over it, leaving the image of Shanghai that I had printed on organza & applied to the support. I also added some partial stencil images & some dripping paint. I am quite happy with the way it turned out.
This one I scraped into, wrote on in crayon, & dripped on. A little busy but I think it works.
Now all I need to do is get the show hung. I am hoping there will be a total of 14 works but it will depend on the space, I won't really know until I get there.

New work

I have been working even if I haven't been posting (sometimes I forget I am supposed to be posting here, oh well one day I will actually get organized) I have been working on several pieces in my China series. They don't seem to be working as well as I had hoped
Here is the first one
It is getting closer to what I wanted but still not there yet. I'm thinking it might need to be darker.
Here is the 2nd one. I haven't actually done much to this one yet, still trying to decide where to go from here.
I'll keep working & hopefully remember to post more often.
