My Mor-Mar (in swedish..Mothers Mother) in front of some of her Artwork.
                          Lois Ericson

                            Me, My Grandma and my Mom, Diane Ericson
                            at one of my First shows in Ashland,When it was still Grilla Bites.

A hand build piece thats been evolving since i posted it Tuesday March 3rd, Blog 15.

Over the weekend i "primed" these 2 canvas mostly with Gesso and supplemented with other Acrylic.
I love to start like this as it often gives a subtle under vibe to the piece.                                                (The above piece also was primed with a little bit of a light yellow)

         

          If you notice the Above photo of the "Brown'ish" one
         I have not only allowed my Limited selection of materials (paint in this case)
        to affect/dictate much of the beginning color scheme, but i have invited my limitations of space to select the structure itself…..
   (In regard to the sectioning off where the length of my work surface is 2/3 as long as the fabric)
     

       As i was doing the first of the 2.
       (The Pink'ish one) i started to feel an affinity for Rothko
       and how expansive his mood-iful colorscapes are.

 

                                                   I am really exited about this one.
                                            The finishing touches conversation is already in session
                                            Bouncing around my Minds Eye.
