#DYICAD 2017 Challenge: Week Three

I'm back again with week 3 of the #dyicad 2017 challenge.

The challenge is for 61 days. This year I am doing it along with my fellow artist and friend, Jenn Engle of Mixed Media Jenn! 


You can follow along daily on either my Instagram or my Facebook page.





Here's a summary of week one, days 15 through 21:

             

 Made a CHANGE in my process:

As I work on my ICAD challenge I am finding I love some of the pieces so much I want to frame/sell them. So from now on I'm just either going to lay quotes down for the photo, or attach each digitally to the photo. ALSO, some days I find I want to work a bit bigger. I started with small index cards, went to larger - now I have been working on 8x10 paper. The goal of the challenge for me is to just do something small each day. So I'm just rewriting the rules (it's kinda my MO #rebel)... Live with it people! Lol! I am also cutting up all of them and keeping the individual words in a baggie for future use. (Because I really need to hoard just one more thing here!)

Remember, you can play too!

The good part about working with small pieces is that there isn't as much pressure and you are free to just play and experiment. If you haven't tried it, you should. You can jump in and play with us at anytime!

Painting #20, #21 and #22: "Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days" Challenge

I am taking part in Leslie Saeta’s “ Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge”.

I have chosen the NEW YORK SCHOOL as my theme. I am working on paintings based on a quote of one of its member artists, not their technique.  CLICK HERE to learn more about it.

I've gotten a bit behind in my sharing so I am doing a few together:

Painting #20, "Chaotic Hope":

"The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves    "   

                                   - Willem de Kooning

Painting #21,"Sun Spots":

NOT FOR SALE - Gifted

"Energy and motion made visible – memories arrested in space."

                      - Jackson Pollack

Painting #22, "A Verb, Not a Noun":

"A painting to me is primarily a verb,

not a noun, an event first

and only secondarily an image."

                        - Elaine de Kooning
