Skies and Canyons

Here is my revised painting using the creative challenge. It is called Skies and Canyons.

Creative Challenge

Here is the creative challenge for the week. Take an old or unfinished painting that you are ready to rework and gesso over parts of it. Collage and mixed media artists always have bits and pieces of papers and scraps left over from other projects. Grab a handful, or like me, use what's left on the table to create a collage over the old painting. Give yourself a timetable to finish and limit the materials to what you grabbed. The time could be anywhere from one hour to three depending on the size of the piece. Finish it within that time. Have it glued down. You can always go back over it later with paint or drawing, but the challenge is to finish the collage now. Don't judge, just jump in and do it. It is, after all, a creative challenge. Let me see how it goes.

Today's edition

I am working on the final edit for my upcoming book, "Image Transfer Workshop", written with Darlene Olivia McElroy. The book will be available for pre-order on Amazon in May. I'll keep you posted.

The class I am teaching at ArtXscapes began last night and we have a great group. They all completed collages within the creation challenge deadline. I'll post one for everyone tomorrow. Check back.
