Artist trading cards

Artist Trading Cards

August 25, 2014

Have you ever seen those amazing little cards that artist trade around?  They are usually small little cards that artist put their work on and then trade them without money being exchanged but the art itself being exchanged.   Usually you do this is a group that knows you or maybe one that doesn't.   I signed up for an exchange through  Lynn Whipples collage class. It was initiated by a student.   I am bout ready to send out my cards to someone I have never met who lives in Tennessee.   I am excited to see how she likes them but also what I get back... expecting something in the mail is always fun!   Here's a sneak preview of what am going to send her... shh... don't tell her

Painting over a painting

working with sgraffito

 

There is nothing like an experiment, it takes the pressure off coming up with a finished picture.  

You can see the sgraffito here, the lines in the paint, between the flowers as well as the stems on the small plants in the foreground.

A good start, I don't feel like it is complete yet,  I might have to set on it awhile
