Ft. Pulaski



A couple weeks ago I went to Ft. Pulaski with my drawing students. The sun was perfect, strong, bold shadows cast on the architecture. The weather was beautiful 75 degrees and a light breeze. The students had a great time and made some really beautiful drawings. It is amazing what can happen to your drawings when you have a good subject. Below are my greatest hits from the weekend.

Whitfield Square



I just finished this print, entitled "Whitfield Square" a couple weeks ago. It is Collagraph Print on Rives BFK with Kitakata paper chine colle. This print inspired me to break down and finally purchase a mat cutter. A long overdue purchase.

Reynolds Court (In Progress)

A commission in progress. My friends Greg and Christine own a beautiful mid-century modern home in Ardsley Park, their home is the inspiration for this painting. 18" x 24" done in oil on chalk gessoed panel. I'm pleased with how it is coming along.

Organized


, originally uploaded by amandahanlon.

A trip to New Orleans this August offered up a nice amount of reference material. I enjoy this photograph for it's merger of the hard edge, light, and ironwork in the foreground. I'm on the cusp of figuring out how to incorporate the iron work into my paintings.

Ironwork Canopy


Ironwork Canopy, originally uploaded by amandahanlon.

I've been working on this linoleum plate for a while now. I was finally able to run off an edition of 4 of this piece a couple weeks ago. I printed it on a creme colored Kitakata Paper. It is a reductive print from the same block.

It is now time to use some of the reference shots I've been collecting in the last several weeks to explore a different iron work pattern. I'm thinking I'll look at this one next.

I know the ironwork compliments the interiors I've been working with but I haven't figured out how yet. I think it will make more sense the more time I have to look at these shapes/patterns through drawing.
