My Busy Art 1

I call it my ‘Busy Art’ because that’s how it feels. Acrylics on canvas and paper on canvas. Would some call it Intuitive Abstract or simply Collage? I’ve seen artists attempting to avoid too much ‘busyness’ in their art, but here I am embracing it. Unplanned, of course. Realism and good sketching don’t seem to be part of my skill set, but that’s okay with me. I do believe that I worked with that challenge in at least one other lifetime but now my personality feels more in tune with spontaneity, surprise and trying new and different expressions of what artistry means to me. I am more in tune with abstraction which for me is not emotional or cozy art. It’s like cold calculus in a way, though I’m a bit of a ‘Spock’ with regard to depth of emotions. Not as intelligent, of course, though I do envision unusual things at times. For example, I recently had a conversation with my son, Aaron, who has published four books on physics and reverse physics theories recently and this conversation led to my telling him of something I envisioned. He said it was about Calculus. I see a horizontal line starting with 0 (which has always fascinated me to no end) and on the right is a line of plus 1, plus 2, plus 3, and so on to infinity. There on the left of 0 is minus 1, minus 2, minus 3, and so on to infinity. Now I see this horizontal line of Numbers become more ‘spherical’ in every direction. It awes me. My son says it is Growth. I like that. I wouldn’t know how to ‘paint’ that or express it in art. Maybe, Ai could do that?

Intentional

This is my current project, a slow process of making acrylic on canvas paintings.

When I moved back to Ontario from BC a few months ago, my car was so packed I had to remove two large blank canvases from their frames and roll them up to squeeze them into a small space. The other day, I decided to start a new project so I unrolled them on our patio table to play outside with my acrylic paints. Messy and fun to do. One turned out to look like a tablecloth or shower curtain and the other looked overdone like a forgotten steak on the BBQ, neither destined for the Louvre, I know. However, it was my intention to create varying sized pieces of mosaics from the start. honestly 😂 Mosaic pieces are often a ‘go to’ when recycling some paintings I have done. My only ambition is fun. As you can see, I am only in the cutting phase of paint, cut, paste and display. I’ll probably add other surprise (to me) elements as I sometimes do. I’m in no hurry so will post more photos later perhaps.

Seeking Harmony and Balance In Relationships

I created this fun mosaic with pieces from some of my recycled acrylic paintings. It was an unplanned composition that just evolved without my mind analyzing every addition and so to me is more fun. I do seek a harmony and balance respecting differences in relationships here, as is my hope for Gender Issues for Humanity.

Woven Acrylics Bookmarks

This is another fun project I created with my strips of acrylics on paper. Double sided. Bookmarks always come in handy for someone like me because I still love the tactile feel of paper bound books.
