so in the middle of painting water...
dear reader..
I stopped for a break to make onion papers...
and sat down with a cuppa
to peruse an old French book...
and before I knew it
I had tiny scissors in my hand and I began cutting circles...
that ended up in
some new pieces in
the French Paper Series
I used watercolor papers...
as my substrate
pencil, pastel, and vintage and antique ephemera
and I will be putting them in the shop..
and speaking of the shop
check it out here
I have cleaned it up
retired several pieces and
created room for
commissioned portraits...
what's up with all the circles?
he asked...
hhmmm..
I could tell him that they represent the eternality of life...
the wedding ring is the symbol of connection.. linking us together..
of the ripples that start in the middle of the lake and fan out until they touch all sides..
or how the circle is represented by the seasons of the year.. cyclical
the phases of the moon ...
or the sun that must be up there somewhere...
I think of the circle as a power symbol that
is locked inside our very dna..
but I wasn't THINKING when I sat down and began cutting...
I was just playing..
so instead...
I think I will just say
that cuticle scissors cut the best circles...
and aren't they cool?
