Studio Work ABOUT my art & others

the studio needs a clean and tidy up as there are papers, prints, works in progress, paintings strewn across the space. monoprint - oil & acrylic on 250gsm fabriano  a few images below and a walkaround here  this one (above) is a bit stiff - the one below is more like it. loving this gel print grunge (below) in the comments below do let me know what you think or better yet, what are you doing in the studio?

 Clearing away and tidying up today - assessing a few things that have been undertaken in the studio this week - lots of monoprinting using the gel plate and a glass sheet. loving this one (below) ... a 'find' amongst the roller clean up sheets - a few tweaks and it created itself.  small piece - oil and acrylic on 300gsm. a few images of playtime (below)- creating sheets of colour, exploration and mark making on various papers including archival tissue.   and a studio walkaround here. in the comments below do let me know what you think or better yet, what are you doing in the studio?

During the last 2 years since we moved here i am steeped in exploring our environment - wonderful tracts of a mix of wattles and gum trees, forest, flat paddocks and a creek. In an effort to delve past the broad expanse which is so BIG i have gone to my collections of found flora, leaves, branches etc and began the #pocketfinds. It seems i have been doing this kind of collecting, recording, photographing for many years but recently found the perfect name for it.  A few here taken the last few days. click on image to enlarge.  a short post at Regent Park blog includes artist books in progress  here AND DONT FORGET OUR YOU-TUBE CHANNEL - art and lifestyle of an artist newly discovering #countryliving we live with a dairy cow in retirement # Snowcone there are some videos on bookmaking, monoprinting, textiles, workshops etc THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE (please let me know if any links do not work)
