"Magic One," A Special Woman Ready to Work her Wonders

It's been such a long time since I have written a blog.   Life just gets in the way some times and my blog just has to wait patiently on the sidelines.   I have been painting for the past couple months getting ready for the show at the Art Association of Harrisburg on October 23 to November 25.  Lots of new work with some old themes and some new ones related to the old ones. 

In the meantime, am involved in the Taos Art Organization studio tour featuring new work, old work, and monotypes.    One of the monotypes included is "Magic One,"  6" X 4," Monotype with oil embellishment, Matted and framed, $110.00.

"The Three Soujourners" Looking for Solace in Life, a Monotype

The magic of monotypes has invaded my being.  Never knowing quite what the final result will be, I have found a special magic in creating mini monotypes by the reductive process--placing background etching ink on a small acrylic plate, then removing a part of the basic ink.  Adding different colors in different shapes becomes part of the intuitive creative process.  Only when the paper is carefully removed from the plate after pressure of the rollers does the final image appear.  Voila!  Much more than I could ever have imagined.

These three soujourners have set off on a spiritual journey, searching for a solace the nature of which they know not only that they will feel an inner peace and serenity to become a part of their lives.  Each looks for the peace that will become a part of the individual soul, but which will also enable the three to live in a world devoid of greed.
