Set of 4 Dailies

This is a composition of 4 daily paintings, developed at first as a set, then individually. Check out the individual posts here. As I start each new daily piece, I make reference to the one that came the day before. In this way, there is a constant flow of continuity day to day.

Top left, clockwise to bottom right:

Cocina, Parquet, Rotary, and Golden Crop.

8 X 8 inches (20 X 20 cm) each panel. Collage, joss paper, rusted metal, and acrylic on wood.

Untitled Plaster Relief

Untitled (as of yet)

8 X 16 inches/each
Plaster relief with acrylic; impressions made with objects found near construction sites.

These are a bit chunky for my tastes; either the contrast in the paint needs to be more subtle, or I need to carve down the relief after casting. Perhaps they are too cluttered. Back to work...

Casa de Trastos / House of Junk

Casa de Trastos, or House of Junk

¿Le gustaría participar en el proyecto que estoy desarrollando sobre cambios de casa? No le ocupará mucho tiempo. ¡De hecho, si quiere, podría dedicarme cinco minutos y hacerlo ahora!

Mi proyecto consiste en reunir historias, esbozos o tendencias sobre los siguientes temas:
- Mudanzas (el más conmovedor, el más estresante, el más alegre, el más difícil de realizar físicamente.... etc.)
- El proceso de empaquetar y vaciar cartónes
- La experiencía de renovar una casa.
- O conteste simplemente a la pregunta: "si usted partiese de viaje para no volver nunca más a su residencia actual, ¿QUÉ SE LLEVARIA USTED CONTIGO, Y QUÉ DEJARÍA?

Para no ponérselo demasiado complicado, puede contestarme en el idioma que Usted quiera.
Puede enviarlo por correo electrónico (laurie.pearsall@gmail.com) o enviarme un mensaje en Facebook.
Todas las contribuciones serán tratadas de forma anónima , si asi lo desea y las incorporaré a mis pinturas, sólo de forma parcialmente visible.
