9×8.5″ acrylic on fabric
No more silk on hand (at least in pre-cut sizes), but I have had so much fun painting on fabric (using acrylic, not fabric paint) that I scraped some acrylic on this piece of nylonish-polyesterish-something-or-otherish purple for today’s daily.

More molting/fuzzing cattails along the river path.

Also along the river trail were lots of cattails that were molting (incorrect technical term)—sloughing off their seed fuzz. I don’t remember ever seeing this up close before. I have another photo of a whole party of cattails together that I might post later (tomorrow?), but I like the close up for today.

We hiked a trail near the river recently and this is a close-up of an old tree stump along the path with a twig cleverly placed (naturally, not by me) within the bark.

Continuing the unintentional theme this week of modified scraped paintings, here is another example of dressing up an existing scraped piece. The artist doesn’t even know whether it will remain this way. Happy Spring!
Acrylic scraping, dabbing, and pressing.
Here is a little bit o’green for your St. Patrick’s Day. It’s acrylic paint on matboard.
8×7″ acrylic on matboard
This is a fresh scrape of acrylic over an old painting (with a red background), then a block print (using acrylic) over that.
When I did the last Tigerlily painting/print, the block-printing process left some nice stripes on a cat-body-shaped piece of paper I used to protect the body of the cat in the work. Today, I decided to reverse the process, using the outer paper around the cat body shape to mask the rest of the painting and leave the striping block prints in the shape of Tigerlily.
And now I will try to leave Tigerlily behind.

Here’s more of that humble leaf I found on the ground last weekend—the jagged edge.

I’m no math whiz, but today is Pi Day, 3.1415…. Enough said.
