A gardener...
a tinkerer...
an artist...
a self-taught scientist...
working away in a shop/studio/shed 70 years ago...if you opened up a cabinet drawer, what you might find...
the story behind my latest art collage,
"The Botanist's Study"
It started with the old journal and the vintage botanical print...
and the story grew from there...pulling together found objects
and vintage touches...
...adding a wash of paint...and coffee grounds...with a measure of metal and rust...
"The Botanist's Study" will be part of my collection of collages for sale next weekend at
Fresh Paint, a Festival of Artists at Work...hope to see you there...
You're right...I do like this.Fantastic piece!!!

ReplyDeletei was so taken by the 'details' of the piece that i failed to see it was an actual drawer! i went back again to look at the crackled paint on the sides, and i realized it was a drawer.
beautiful piece.
