NEW DOOR AT WORK OF HART

I know the power lines are not attractive and the sidewalks are crumbling and awful, but never-the-less we press on down on Depot St.  I'm loving the green and pumpkin; not usually my colors. 

Here's a shot of my new neighbor (another pawn shop, oh horrors!!!!!)  But, hey, they rent the buildings and are painting them and sprucing up.  I say, good for you, pawn stars!!!!!!  That's Head Games, beauty salon next door. 

 

Another shot of Work of Hart Studio.......and the crumbling infrastruture.  Another new enterprise is operating at the other end of Depot, Kahootz........awfullly nice looking place with some interesting "wares."  We're putting "our money where our mouth is" down on Depot St in lovely Hartwel, Ga.

VINTAGE WALLPAPER.......COLLAGE!!!!!

Hey Y'all.  Okay, here's the deal, the Hartwell Service League is having a Mistletoe Market at the Art Center in downtown Hartwell, GA starting next Saturday, 12/3, through 12/23.  My "booth" will have my new vintage wallpaper collages.....and I must say they are awesome.  The pics don't do them justice.  I love these little buggers and want to keep them all for myself.  They are originals, not prints.  Priced at $15.00 each they include the mat and backing and are signed by Moi and ready to frame.  Also there will be prints of several of my cold wax pieces including "Lily Pond" now featured twice in Dick Blick's holiday catalogs.......  I bought this wallpaper on Ebay several years ago and it has been sitting around my studio forever.....  This series is called "Light" and features the silhouette of a lamp (or the negative part of the silhouette) cut out in vintage wallpaper and collaged to another sheet of vintage wallpaper.  I will also have two larger ones on grasscloth that will be framed.  Here's a little peak with my terrible photo skills.......

WRESTLING WITH THE COLLAGE ANGEL

I absolutely love collage done well and am cautiously entering into this medium (or is it media, I never know for sure).  Most of my collages generally turn out looking like something my mother would have posted on the fridge growing up.  In other words, awful.  But, I press on.  Favorites include anything done with silhouettes, old letters and vintage print, and retro stuff like the 50's icons of funky shapes and even musical instruments.  So, with all that in mind, I'm working on some retro collages, some with simple shapes, and some more intricate with old envelopes, letters, and other vintage material.  I hate struggling with new materials, but that's how you learn.  Since I took to the cold wax and oil medium right away and generally encaustics also, it pains me to have to struggle with collage.  I tend to over think it.  Anyhoo, we'll see what transfires.  Here is an example of collage done well....... Can't tell you the artist (so sorry about that) but this is what I'm about!!!!  Looks simple, right?  It ain't....believe me!!!!!!
