Collage Day

Today was a little different because the space we regularly meet at was not available, so instead we informally met at Wicked Grounds cafe. It was just Jo and I, but I really liked the change in scenery.

Figure Drawing At Monument

We had two male models, one whose poses were very outstretched and dynamic. Not the greatest drawings today, but still enjoyable nonetheless.

This one turned out much better than the last hand painting. I don't love it, but at least it's a big improvement.

This turned out muddy, over-mixed, and too contrasty. Oh well.

De YounG Visit

Spent the day with an artist friend at the de Young Museum. We visited the painter's show, that seemed like Pop Art before it was a thing. Interesting, but didn't move me. It felt like graphic design work.

One of the best things was the new lobby installation by Leonardo Drew.

Inside the James Turrell structure. Only recently have I begun to love his experiential work.

A beautiful collage in the underwhelming 1960's art show.

Broken Mirror

My friend had a wall sized vanity mirror break on him, so I picked it up from his house. It weighed close to 60 lbs. and ended up with a really sore back. The shards are especially thick, so not sure how useful it will be. I also painted a river rock for my scrap paper and straightened the studio a bit.
Picture
The most ridiculous moving attempt.

Sometimes when in your art studio, you just need to spend time thinking. During these times, I'll make non-important things!

Occasionally, I like to peruse through art magazines and see what's going on in the "art world".  Found a few artists I want to research more.
Picture
I absolutely love this collage!

Carol Rama
Le tagliole (The Traps), 1966
red fox hide and enamel on canvas

Poor little fox. I guess if you're going to be immortal, it's nice to be beautiful.
Picture
So creepy that I couldn't help but be intrigued.
Picture
Speaking of creepy...
Picture
I'm quite familiar with Penny's work, but want to see his recent work.
