Close-up beginning a series of mixed-media collage drawings on replaced cabinet doors; the series is called “Tlingit Cabinet” Series<\/p><\/div>\n

Several years ago, when the way-too-little sewing room got replaced by a cedar sauna, I saved the cabinet doors.\u00a0 Because I cannot stand to throw away perfectly good wood, and these ones where already “framed”, I told myself that “…someday I’ll do some paintings on them…” (even though I hadn’t really painted much except one of the “Painted Ponies” of New Mexico).\u00a0 Finally, after about 10 years storage in the attic, I have begun the series.\u00a0 Again, this style of work is inspired by my collage\/painter friend, Cecil Touchon.\u00a0 Partner Dan Shanks prepared the small boards (there are three small ones; three big ones) using acrylic matte medium to glue down sheets from a couple of old books.\u00a0 Then I use a couple of graphite pencils, dark and light with some cinnamon-colored, and do some shading – it’s a lot of fun – and like the rest of the contemporary work that I do, I just never know how it’s gonna turn out!\u00a0 Stay tuned for the completed triptych of this first set of cabinets. – And by the way, if you know of anyone who is remodeling their kitchen, etc., and they are getting rid of cabinets that are in good shape, send those folks my way!\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
