My daughter Amy, and grandsons Emmett and Jackson drove from Portland to Salem this morning to 1) see my new studio and playhouse, and 2) to make some art. What a great way to start the week.
Emmett chose to paint some wooden blocks.
Jackson wanted to experiment and create with Paperclay.
Amy started by applying gesso to a wooden board.
I hopped around getting supplies together, pausing for a quick photo.
Then Jackson discovered one of my old typewriters.
Amy discovered my alcohol inks and applied them over her gessoed board, added some rub-on images to a large glass lens, and presto! a finished piece of art in less than an hour. Amazing.
Jackson had fun exploring the drawers of my many treasures.
And me? I got a board gessoed and picked Amy's brain for some possible topics related to social justice for a piece I'm doing for a show at the 100th Monkey. The piece is due NEXT WEEK, but a seed has been planted . . .
