Look carefully: do you see me hiding in those panels to the left? Hmmm, every artist it seems is on a search for self...what technique is truely "them." I don't even know how one discovers that...but I think I might be hiding in the two pieces here. Why? Because left to my own devices this is the piece I woke up to and went to bed with for the last several weeks. I planned it just like I plan my parties: lots of good color, a specific traffic flow, little touches of surprise here and there and attention to detail. The wild movement of color and the specific detail...opposites that make a Gemini happy as a clam...or a fern.
Fran Hardy is to be thanked for most of the layering technique. The fact that it is all on wood panel is another suggestion of hers...but one that makes me happy as I love the feel of wood...both in my hands and under the brush, and beneath the pencil. I'm working on other pieces and techniques and styles but, truth be told, i am jonesing to buy more panels and do something in orange with details (mushrooms maybe?) and then some figures and, and, and.......not fine, but fun and if I can find some buyers that it also speaks to then, who knows....maybe as old as I am I did find something of me....Cindy Michaud
Great work, Cindy. I think you've found yourself. Be sure to let the readers know which Piece of 8 you are.
