Homecoming
This piece is from a series of collographs onto mulberry paper called " Home". I have been working towards a solo show that is coming up in late summer using variations of this format and now have some larger pieces completed toward my goal.
I find that they are starting to resemble still life compositions at times, though quite misty, seen from above, and all continue to be anchored in thoughts about the necessity of a safe harbor in which to feel at peace.
The closest I could get to the red was the small area in the picture of pink/orange but I notice this one would also nicely fit into the periwinkle section. I guess it is still on the brain as a very useful colour!
Yes, I wondered if you had forgotten the new colour. It's a lovely piece with soft soothing colours - including the red.

It's a lovely piece, albeit a stretch for the colour!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a safe harbour - very comforting.
ReplyDeleteI love your new series. The shapes can be read (red?) in many ways. A feast for the eyes.
ReplyDeletethat pod shape is so femine - i love it. the colors work well and the red is the zinger in this piece. well done michele!
ReplyDeleteNice, Michele. This comes close to our next colour also.
ReplyDeleteI am always fascinated by your pieces and how you work your colours. The misty and abstract look draw you in.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting some intriguing textures with your collographs. I like the combination of the sketchy line and the washes of colour.
ReplyDeleteLove the softness of the piece - you have got this technique down to a fine art and all your pieces are really nice.
