Prints

I know it is against the rules, but I am compelled to divide the list of randomly selected words into three images instead of using them all in the first image and going from there.  I just already know exactly what I want to paint for all three prints and no matter how hard I try to smoosh all the ideas into one image, I can't let myself do it.  I want these to be small square paintings.  I've always wanted to make a whole wall of tiny paintings.  Maybe this will be the beginning of an even bigger series...

Mural Ideas...

We've been brainstorming and all agree that we want to work somehow with text. We weren't sure exactly what that would look like, so we all did "sketches" of what we'd each like to make the subject of the mural. Many of us had landscapes and city scapes. We realized pretty quickly that a city scape would make more sense. The city is the center of culture, art, and creativity. We are each now going to work on a few buildings to show how text can be used to depict buildings. Here are mine:
