I made these monotypes using a Gelli plate. 

I’m working on a series of ‘tree portraits’
This is a new medium for me and I’m loving the possibilities…..

    Gorgeous. 

    The thread title is what got my attention... my favorite PJ song, hands down.

    Yes^^very tribal
    Art is captivating. Those images can be picked directly from my brain. That owl visited me while fishing. Fox...only saw its tracks in the snow. Woodpecker...many times. Those are impressive. Can dig deep in an old tree with ease leaving a signature rectangular hole.

    Killer all around.

    Would love to see imagery that recalls the lyrics / song title. A silhouette in a tree with a puff of smoke floating away from either the joint or the lips. Moonlit. and Oceanic.

    Working full time + caring for elderly parents isn’t leaving a lot of free time to be creative, but I did just teach a summer art course (to make some extra $$$ to finance fall tour) and here are some of the resulting student works:

    Clay-


    Collograph -


    Laser cut stencils w/spray paint over acrylic backgrounds:

    In different color variations ~




     

    Cut paper w/printmaking and watercolor: These next ones are made by creating digital images using Photoshop/Illustrator then cutting through different values of paper with a laser cutter and overlapping.

     

    Cut paper shapes over printed pattern + watercolor:

    Holy awesome. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
    This took less than 5 min. So, for me, artistically minded. It's a matter of having space, found objects, a clear mind.
    'In Your Tree' on a cool piece of bark.

    Poplar bark just screams to be painted on. I did a bunch of trout on another and left in the wild.

    I never saw that cut paper type of art. Very unique to me.
