Not high-res, but this is one of my very favorite cowgirl images, lifted, I think, originally from a cigarette ad. She just looks so...so vacant. Or dreamy. Or content...or whatever!
I have used her in so many paper collages. If you have this image, I'd love to swap something for a high-res copy!
Homage to Svetlana Tursunova-Frank, her series of pencil drawings featuring Japanese art. I've used Street Art (on Prague s.a.) book as a reference.
I'm having fun experimenting. I like making different creatures. Especially bird-like creatures.It bothers me that we can't translate actual color thru scanning,uploading,etc. A lot of the magnificence is lost...oh well.
The words are from a song that got stuck in my head while working on the page. Used a little of everything on this. Texture paste, gel transfer, tape, acrylic paint, stamping, carved eraser stamps, a foot sticker, pencil crayon to darken the bird stamps and water color to add shading. Was a lot of fun to play with, went a little crazy with the carved arrow stamps I think ;)
Frank Stella (born Malden, Massachusetts, May 12, 1936) is an American painter and printmaker. In the 1960s, Stella began to use a wider range of colors, typically arranged in straight or curved lines. Later he began his Protractor Series of paintings, in which arcs, sometimes overlapping, within square borders are arranged side-by-side to produce full and half circles painted in rings of concentric colour. These paintings are named after circular cities he had visited while in the Middle East earlier in the 1960s. The Irregular Polygon canvases and Protractor series further extended the concept of the shaped canvas.
