A "painting" on my drop cloth

I took this photo for a photography class I'm taking. I was looking around for 



a composition that caught my eye. There was a drop cloth on the floor that I had used to spray paint a lamp outside. I rather like this. As I walked past it before, I had thought, "I wonder if I can put some of this cloth, in pieces, on a painting." So many "visions" running around in my thoughts. Since finding Jude Hill's blog, and other fiber artists through her blog, the possibility of using cloth in a painting is enticing. But I don't want to add another medium just yet. I still have to explore MM and paper. And I want to get back to encaustic. I stopped working with hot wax, when I realized that to ship a piece out of my area, required art handler transportation. Aaahhh . . . the clicking of the clock and finding patience!

  1. bonjour Jann, j'aime ce tableau ainsi, et j'apprécie tes préoccupations techniques qui pour certains peuvent paraître secondaires; je les considère parfaitement poétiques comme accompagnant la démarche picturale; il faut être terre à terre pour admirer l'espace :-) thibault
