Red for Effect

Part of a cut paper work at the Columbus Museum of Art and Design, the red makes a definite statement. I'm interested in the cut line for examples of design elements for cutting Tyvek stencils for printing. Or I could brush soy wax on the silkscreen with the repeated elements. That tree is gorgeous. 
 

Not a Ride-By

QSDS is a stone's throw from the Columbus Art Museum, and a terrific collection of works that engage. A week ago I caught myself  staring at this work "Ride by Terror" by James Baare Turnbull, painted in 1941, when he was 32. Yes, hooded men with guns. And in 1941.

Tea Time

A friend stopped for tea tonight and I got to spread out the four little works that will travel this summer to Quilt Surface Design Symposium (QSDS) for their challenge. They're almost finished.

Sill, oh. You wets?

Can't make of this exercise in black, perched high above, in silhouette, two clothed figures with exaggerated costumes. The work of Ruben and Isobel Toledo is from their installation at the Columbus Museum of Art. Worth the visit, if nothing else, than to see these figures.
