Tree of Life: Guadalupe
I started my artist career as a watercolor artist. I did this watercolor about (gulp) 8 or 9 years ago. I've done a series of these Tree of Life paintings, all 22x30" on watercolor paper, embellished, collaged and sewn on the paper. The originals are long sold...but I do have some prints (don't ask me. I really need to get it together and put them on etsy) Anyway, you can see the others here and all my Mexican themed work here. There were a couple more, but I didn't get photos. I love doing these, though they take weeks and weeks of work. Point of bringing this up, is that I'm going to teach a 6 hour workshop on this, at the Mingei Museum in Balboa Park (San Diego). I don't know the exact date, but I'll keep you posted.
Jane, Tree of Life is awesome! But I want more detail, please. How large is it? Did you do it with the same technique you teach in the Studio Journal class? I love it!

This is fantastic, Jane. It takes alot of work and you know how to work it. THEN you play hard. What could be better?
ReplyDeleteJane.. I LOVE this piece. Working in a series can be so satisfying and rewarding.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, Jane! I'd love to take that workshop!! Looks like a ton of detail went into it! - really fantastic!! - Nina
ReplyDeleteWow! These trees, and your Mexican work is stunning! I love how you mix the material, the textures and the colours are amazing. Lucky students of art you will have :-)
