Weekend Work 1/10/2022
This one is possibly the craziest thing I’ve done in a while. It came out of this one that I posted last week:
It got flipped around. You can see some of the elements in the top painting. Stuff just started emerging and I went with it.
This one is going to an old friend from high school. She is going to have heart surgery and I wanted to do a piece for her. She’s an artist and will appreciate the effort, I think.
This was just a lot of fun to do. I may do more like this.
My daughter took me to see this archway someone in my town made. We think it’s a tree that was mostly cut down and then the existing vines were formed into an arch. Couldn’t get a better shot but this was a great outdoor piece.
Still cold in Northern NJ. Have a good week! Nina

Thank you. It started as a rib cage and then I saw the heart in there.

The heart has a wonderful alive feeling Nina. And the last “fun” one should definitely lead to more. (K)

It spoke to me too while doing it. N.

….the third one. It has movement, texture, tension, flow, and draws the eye continuously around and inside. Intriguing, Nina.

It’s always my aim to have the eye move around the whole picture so I guess I was successful with this one, thank you!

I am so excited about all of these. For different reasons. I think they all show your questing spirit, though, and are full of life. I always feel good looking at your work.

I think they reveal a really unique and creative mind, I love your work for that, and just on its own.

Nina, you could sit those 2 side by side and title them metamorphosis. I’m really liking what I’m seeing in all of the artworks. They are looking less boxy and more flowing (not that there is anything wrong with boxes! just sayin!) Very neat living art installation in the yard also. The tree is hugging itself.
