Days 16 – 30
For the second half of the gathering, I explored the desert landscape, minimal abstracts and florals. Along the way I moved from collage mixed with digital collage, to digital collage alone. Pattern remained a constant.
For the last three days of the month, I reworked old paintings. These are from 2015. Can they really be that old? I started a class, that reminds us to revisit old work, and see if we can adjust or update it, to use for different purposes, such as licensing.
Here are the originals. The last, was a tiny bookmark.
I learned a lot this month, and had fun along the way.
Surprisingly, I never hit that 3rd week, “I wish we were done.”, wall. Very nice!
I have to admit, I miss watercolor and I am anxious to get back to my brushes.
Creative Gathering Collages February 2025
I apologize for not posting more often this month. Time did fly!
I didn’t even post to my Facebook page.
I’m so thankful for your interest and support! My art friends mean a lot to me!
A collection of a variety of compositions and color palettes that work beautifully together! I was a participant and am always glad that I “showed up” even if it only for a few creative efforts. I’m quite slow usually in my process and feel silly posting over and over what looks to be the same thing even if has changed slightly. I so appreciate your efforts in keeping the creativity going and growing in all of us. My favorites are 17, 18, 22, 28 & 29:)
Thank you, Laurelle! For sharing your favorites. I forgot to ask, didn’t I. LOL.
I feel like I forgot a lot in the winding down fo the event. There is always so much to remember.
We are always very glad when you are able to “show up”! And most of us enjoy seeing WIP, even if it is a few images.
Congratulations on your awesome work this month! xoxo
What a wonderful month of collage creativity, Sheila! I’m glad I thought to pop over to IG even though I no longer post there myself to see your work as the pieces came off your ‘easel’ one by one. BRAVA!
Dotty, thanks so much for checking on IG. Your daily observations truly kept me going!
Hugs, my friend!
A super colourful month for you Sheila – I think your desert scenes were among the best but my favourite was the second one the top line of your first picture – the overlapping petals. Thank you once again for hosting us.
Thank you Val. That is one of my favorites also. Thanks so much for Being one of the “long timers”.
You never fail to surprise and delight! And thanks, for taking the time to initiate and follow up
on group conversations. See you in September my friend!
