Even as or even more exciting, I really like what I finished.
Perhaps AEDM has some sort of pixie dust involved, but this mixed media piece has been in peaces, waiting to be born, since the middle of last Summer. The wonky house was made when I was babysitting my favorite (and only) godson. I had a concept but not so sure about execution until last weekend, when I tore apart a decaying desk I salvaged and committed to reusing as much as possible in my art.
This piece of a drawer begged to be put to some use, any use and for whatever reason, “Wonky Art House!” cried out from its hiding place inside a vintage dictionary where I had slid a bunch of other cut-out-not-used-yet scraps.
I started painting last Saturday, little by little and today, I put the house, the swirly smoke and walking path in place.
The Wonky Art House was made from pages from an Art Text book from the 30’s which I find hilarious. The wisdom from professors was carefully honed back then and the writing voice shows up as pompous as a blown up balloon cartoon character.
It was all sealed with Krylon’s Triple Thick and yes, I love the combination. Perhaps too much?
