This week I’ll start with my latest painting, titled “Celebration”. It’s 20” square on cradled wood panel and will be presented in a black metal frame. This one is truly mixed media as it includes collage, gelli prints, acrylic paint pens, graphite pencil and water soluable crayon in addition to acrylic paint.
Next, let’s look at this week’s 100 day project cards.
These exes are from a hand-carved stamp I made recently.
The comedy and tragedy masks are also hand carved by me.
The background here is a mix of acrylic ink (the gold-coloured dots and lines) and water soluble crayons.
The shapes along the right side are another hand carved stamp.
And this last card has a piece of personal ephemera. I found some old wedding presents when I was going through my parents’ things and found this shipping label on one of them. From my dad’s uncle and his wife. All are long gone now.
Next let’s look at this week’s index cards from the ICAD challenge.
A little citrus sliced hand-carved stamp as well as the black marks below.
These “lanterns” are also my hand-carved stamps.
I’ll finish up with a couple of pictures of our local wildlife. Young deer are prevalent right now.
And this goldfinch has been hanging out at our windows for a week now.
Baby quails out for a walk under supervision.
Thanks so much for joining me today. I’ll be back next week. In the meantime, stay safe.
That is an unusual canvas. Very abstract and different. I think my favorite of the 100 days project this week is the first one, but I love the masks you carved and the shapes you carved that reminds me of the napkin I used a couple of days ago. They are all wonderful, so it's hard to actually prefer one over the other.
I'm also having trouble deciding which ICAD I prefer this week, although I was drawn to 39 and 42. Great inspirations. I like everything I see of course.

Forgot to ask what your pink bird thinks of the gold finch.
