9 Small Artworks - Structures #85
Structures #85 ©2007 12"x12"
The third of nine pieces I’m making for the Arvada Center Holiday Art Market.
I mentioned on friday that one of the pieces in this group of 9 I really loved, this one is it. While I like all of these small simple compositions, there is something about this one that makes me very happy. The proportions, the shapes, the not quite perfectly straight lines. It just went together perfectly for me, something that isn’t always possible as often I struggle. These rare gifts, when the work just makes itself, are much appreciated.
I was tempted to skip posting an image today since I didn’t get the piece finished before leaving for Kansas early Saturday morning. It’s been a long weekend with a lot of driving and I had a long list of ‘must do’ items for this evening. I didn’t get far on my list but I decided I couldn’t give up so quickly on my goal to finish and post one a day. I’ll have to put in several hours tomorrow to get the 4th one completed.

I can see why this one is your favorite, it has a certain light to it. I would love to see all of them together…

I think it is the red that makes you happy. It signifies warmth and love.

Thanks all. Wanda - could be the color. I ended up making a second red one because I liked this one so much.

Hello lisa!
I am a year 11 student and I have been studying your work, especially “structures #1″.
Personally, I love the way your work represents the both emotional and physical ways that fences and walls have on us. Your use of colour in your work is very eyecatching and bold, and your work has helped me develop my samples by experimenting with colour and texture.
Please could you write back to my email.
id really apreciate it!
Rachael.
