Time Machine: Etching & Aquatint Process
Printmaking is rad. If I had a time machine, I still wouldn’t skip Etching’s labor intensive demands.The process can be Zen-like… this is where the radness comes in! This particular image has taken quite a bit...
WTF Now? I set out to see if Playing Dress Up would Prevent Creative Block?
Sometimes when I start a new project I experience a design stage fright. For instance, I’m starting a business card design for a Coffee Shop and Cafe today. Simple enough,right? Naah uhh. As I sit in...
Current Series: Mundiville
Hooray! I’ve been working… on a new picture series called (for now) “Mundiville“… not sure yet? The series is a compilation of Etchings and Paintings, but of course they all start as sketches. So, because...
Life and Death Saga…. life by Scissors
If you read the “Life and Death of an Idea” posting then you know that I was very unhappy with the state of the Tree of Faith (?) painting. I was over it. So yesterday,...
The Life and Death of an Idea.
UPDATED: SEE THE COMPLETED PIECE. —————————— 2007: I started this about a year ago(2006)… it started as a 8′x11′ ink drawing in my sketchbook. The initial concept was co-existence and fundamental similarity in religion. Beginning...
Final Thought – Twelve Days in June
RECAP from DAY 1: [For twelve days, instead of sketching in my sketchbook, I’m painting. One a day, whatever comes to mind, sometimes inspired by dreams or just meandering thoughts.] POST: Now, looking at the...
Day 12 – Twelve Days in June
So today is the first time that I started the day’s painting with a plan. I felt it was appropriate because after reflecting on the entire group the obvious and yet completely unintentional trailing theme...
Day11 – Twelve Days in June
Just like a journal, the eleven days so far have unintentionally revealed a pattern. I believe it exposes a brief conversation on fears. From maternal feelings to hate, darkness and bloated expectations, now day eleven...
Day 10 – Twelve days in June
While living in limbo for almost a year, with this great expectation of our new place, fear sometimes dominates my head. I worry about over- hyping it. Like a movie, then you go see it...
Day 9 – Twelve days in June.
Dennis says I’m a hater. Yeah, I guess I can point out more things I dislike than ones I do. Uhmm? So, I was thinking of things I DON’T HATE… it was hard I admit....
Day 8 – Twelve Days in June
People, crowds, faces. I wish I could capture each expression. If only I could make time stand still, or take out my phone and photograph the great ones. “I can’t remember their faces.” Twelve days...
Day 7 – Twelve Days in June
A year ago I couldn’t stop writing, drawing, painting… it was like I had so much information and not enough time to process it. Now, I feel empty. Not like, “Oh, wow is me, I’m...
Day 6 – Twelve Days in June.
It’s Saturday and I guess I have more time to paint this morning than yesterday. I’m not rushed, no pressure. URg… A maze, a hole, I guess it’s the complicated female to the very male...
Day 5 – Twelve Days in June
No time to paint this morning, but I did anyway. It’s easy to get angry, this was one of those self pity type days. I’m frustrated with our moving situation and after five days of...
Day 4 – Twelve Days in June
Okay, the mornings here in Jamul (where I’m staying temporarily) are really quite tranquil. The birds chirp and the crows make load, Teradactal-type noises, the trees rustle and the morning sun shines in the bedroom...
Day 3 – Twelve Days in June
Everyday, I wake up first. This works out well because Dennis has a hard time getting up in the morning, so I’m his alarm clock. This is a typical morning for me, saying “Wake Up...
Day 2 – Twelve Days in June
Pattern. I tried not to think this one out, just let my hand do the work. I’ve incorporated the sugar from Day 1. Not Thinking. Acrylic & Ink on Wood. 2007 © Jeanette Vieira share:...
