A little fun at Hawthorne Park this morning with friend Linda Heller who was there to be interviewed for Fine Arts! Her paintings hung behind her and we chatted and then looked at her art enjoying her techniques. The show runs about 20-30 minutes. I do this once a month.
Playing around a little with a technique in Zentangle® called "cartouche". Now in fact the history of a "real" cartouche is quite a different story. If you look it up...an ancient piece of art originally and sometimes on a tomb. But the idea is that it "enclosed" or "frames" something important. So this is a sort of "take off" of the word meaning drawing something that encloses something else.
This is a real key glued to the center. People often do this with a photograph in the center and then frame it, or a favorite spoon, or some small flat object such as an old brooch. This is just an experiment but it is rather fun. I may add some color to it later.
I've been totally remiss on my "littles" lately...so much going on here in the park and lots of personal projects and getting up to speed on my projects. But I am trying to get back on track again. (You will note I was gifted with a new iPhone for my birthday this fall.). It's taking an inordinate amount of time to "get up to speed" on it, but should be less so as time goes on.
