Ink on paper...
I've spent so long sharpening my observation skills with architecture, it's hard to relearn seeing humans. Still trying to find a surface and medium that rocks my socks. #roxannecolyerart #portrait #drawing #makingartmyway
Fowl Abstraction...
Fowl Abstraction. Acrylic on masa and Strathmore drawing paper.
Having so much fun with children's styrofoam cards and an old chopstick. Acrylic colors with a pin press to transfer. Can't possibly do anything serious in July... or August... and possibly September.
Reprising the series...
"I Never Made it to Santorini" oil, 40"x30"
One of the first from the Working The River series. The series was inspired by the Willamette River Falls old mill buildings. This image pays tribute to all of those who worked hard all of their lives while dreaming of a romantic getaway.
Persistent color...
Acrylic sketch on paper.
I guess my color voice is coming through loud and clear and here to stay. And why conform in the first place? This is a quick figure sketch in acrylic paint from so long ago I can't remember exactly when... seems it was 7 or 8 years ago and about 16x20 inches.
30 Minutes...
Drawing is like exercise. We can accomplish a lot in 30 minute increments.
Tolga Kashif Queen Symphony
Without art and music in the world, there are some mornings I wouldn't get out of bed. So thankful I can hear and see and feel the beauty. In Alaska, Dad hauled boxes of vinyl and reel-to-reel into the middle of nowhere every time we moved ~ even when light plane or boat was the only access. We woke up and went to sleep to whatever music matched his mood. He blasted Sousa or Strauss down the valleys because he could. He'd bring us boxes of the latest Disney soundtrack or Rock n Roll 45's if he went into town. Dad would have loved Spotify or Pandora. Freddy Mercury is one of the great composers of the last century. Here Tolga Kashif pays tribute. And I can make it one more day.
