I've been asked about painting elephants many time

I've been asked about painting elephants many times, but it just never felt right until I got these panels from Trekell. It seemed the perfect space for this guy to emerge.⁠
⁠
You can check him out in person on Sunday if you're in the Phoenixville area. My home studio will be open 12-4 for a relaxing break from the start of the holiday madness. ⁠

A little glimpse into my workspace: these 2 cards

A little glimpse into my workspace: these 2 cards have been on my bulletin board for years. Just little reminders for when things get stressful or I need to push through a tough situation.⁠

The backgrounds of my pieces start with a layer of collage work. Stationary, misc papers, old book pages all find their way into my work. The sifting and sorting and searching for just the right pieces can be both frustrating and inspiring. ⁠
⁠
This duo is about women's roles and when I pulled out my box of books to grab one of my old fairytale books to look for the wise woman/foolish girl references, the first book I grabbed was "Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette" from 1952. So much a better fit than my original intent!⁠
⁠
Moving on with getting the background layers in and starting to sketch in the details so I can get painting.⁠

I love delving into the meanings of symbols and how they show up in our lives. Animal totems cross so many cultures - it is amazing how many different values and attributes are assigned to animals, and how our own interaction and association with them can hold such specific meaning personally.⁠
⁠
These 3 works are from a small collection of totems that will be going up on my site this weekend. ⁠

WIP Wednesday⁠ ⁠ Prepping a couple of new pane

WIP Wednesday⁠
⁠
Prepping a couple of new panels. ⁠
⁠
1. I glop a bunch of gesso on the panel and use an old plastic scraper to spread it across the panel, keeping it pretty loose and leaving lots of texture. (Yes, glop is the correct technical terminology.)⁠
⁠
2. I get my fingers in there to smooth out any bits that seem too rough, and to pick out any dog hairs that may have managed to find their way onto the panel. Thanks for the contribution, Rosie!⁠
⁠
3. Watch paint dry. ⁠
