Below is a print developed with my brand new 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small and my previously released 9" x 12" Looking Up Through Trees.... |
| Above: This acrylic paint print on watercolor paper has come thus far thru the use of both my 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small (mostly in the background) and my 9" x 12" Looking Up Through Trees (foreground.) |
The more I worked with these two masks, the clearer it became that both designs are perfect for creating starburst effects; all that this takes is for the bottoms of the trunks to be left out. The print above is one example; here's another --
-- and another:
Altho I came to love the starburst idea, I still at times revert to using the 6" x 6" mask Looking Up Through Trees Small to further explore abstract imagery of any kind ... just for the fun of the exploration, to see what surprises await me:
Below: Another exploration; its first step was this multi-print made with Looking Up Through Trees Small ....
And its last step was to cut out one of the above prints and glue it to a background that had started life as a page in a picture calendar. Once the calendar was out of date, I added a layer of dark coral acrylic paint that matched that color in the multi-print above.
Above: I call this Flight of Fancy Landscape, since my center-stage trees print is flanked by trees that had appeared in the original photo and are still visible, tho paint-veiled.
