I have always loved the work of
Anahata Katkin, and decided to spend some time playing with a painting of mine influenced by her work. It really didn't matter how it turned out, as I was just playing. How lovely that feeling is when you have no expectations on yourself. Just doing something completely for the enjoyment you get.
As I worked on it, I was really liking how it was turning out, and the pressure increased..... I didn't want to do something to muck it up. But in art making as in so many other things we do, we must take chances to move things along. And so I continued along being brave and taking chances. Some of them worked, and some didn't, but in the end I was happy with the piece and the fun I had making it.
I mounted it on a piece of covered book board, and if I am brave (because I don't want to wreck it now) enough I will put holes in the top and a piece of ribbon to hang it up with. For now it sits beside the railing that comes up to my studio.

Gorgeous, Kim!
ReplyDeleteDid you know she was a Fairbanks girl originally? I took Jazzersize from her mom!
Must be that good northern air.
I'm really loving seeing your talents unfolding here. Keep it up.

I love the lines and and small bubble/circle effect, it's so fluid. It is a beautiful piece of work.
