"SUSHI BAR"

"SUSHI BAR"

I call fat-cats "sumo kitties."

He can use the fish bowl as a finger bowl now.

I printed 15 of these after drawing the image in Painter.

"DON'T GET UP!"

"DON'T GET UP!"

So, who's getting up?

Watercolor delineates eyes and nose of lazy feline....

"MES AMIS"

WHILE I'M WAITING

for frames to arrive,

let's look at

"MES AMIS."

The original (sold) is a monoprint

with acrylic and watercolor on scans

of Fortuny fabric.

That design atelier's great patterns

are a joy to see.

The smiling heart and beads are painted

over a Fortuny border design. 

The flower hand-print is on very fine cotton.

This portion of the scan

shows a little of the frayed cotton edge.

I usually employ watercolor or gouache for my letter forms.

The crown's edge and face perimeter show 

the oil monoprint's sketchy line quality. 

"AGAIN"

I place the little black and white dog

in the center of unique collages

made with hand-painted papers from my studio folios.

In no order:

The wave patterns are a monoprint with acrylic paint.

The green border is oil and acrylic on paper.

The grey behind the dog is typo correction film

on acrylic on black Canson paper.

Stamped letters start a thought...

23 carat gold is flourished at his feet.
