New Painting: "Unraveled"

I have finally put the finishing touches on a new/old painting that I titled today: "Unraveled".  As with all my paintings this one went through many stages to reach its current state.  The oil stick happened mid-way through.  Once I discovered it (quite by accident I must say) I liked it immediately. It gives texture and I do not have to endure the smell of various chemicals in the studio.  I am excited to be saying this painting finished.  (phewwwwww)

Stay tuned for something new:  a photo-intaglio of an image of this painting.  I had the good fortune to work with Printmaker Julie Harris yesterday who coached me through my first print....and I liked that process. 

A Call for Self-Photographs from Artist Julie Harris and Her Breast Cancer Art Installation Project

My artist friend and Kean University colleague Julie Harris has begun a fabulous new body of art depicting the statistics of breast cancer....

Below are her words from her Facebook page.

"All ladies, 18 and up! Please consider participating in my breast cancer project! 

I'm seeking women unaffected by breast cancer as well as breast cancer survivors to be included in a large scale art installation utilizing anonymous high resolution, 300 dpi, photographs of themselves, clavicle to belly button.ors to be included in a large scale art installation utilizing anonymous high resolution, 300 dpi, photographs of themselves, clavicle to belly button. 

The images can be taken by yourself if you have a good camera, then emailed or messaged to me! Please message me for details if you or anybody you know of might be interested! The show will reflect the staggering statistics that one in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Thanks for reading and I would be honored to have you included in my art project! I've got 18 women already!"  (Julie Harris)
