Manikin. Linda Rupard

I decided to rework this painting again.  Done over an old watercolor painting that I reworked with acrylic.  First time around I had left the features more  rough with dark splotches & rough irregular lines  just went back & refined that face some more .  I do like it this  time  much better.   It is fun to use an old watercolor  to paint over interesting areas you cant get any other way.   My show is up at the Heritage Museum & will be up until August 17.  Reception is Sat July 13 from  1:00 to 3:00.  Museum is open Tuesday through Friday 8:30 to 4:00.   Sat  open but opens later.

This is a  paper collage on a 12 X 12 gallery wrap canvas.    Found  from paper put down  from one of my cut up cards  where this image   magically appeared and I defined it with more paper collage .  I am working on my show for July.  I am also taking 2 fun online workshops.  I will try to find time to post some of my work from these workshops soon  along with some of my new work .   The Caboose show  continues until the  last week in June .

River Runs through It 2 Linda Rupard

This is a collage on a wooden cradle board.    I begin with the design from one of my cards.  I kept adding paper until I saw something in the design then I developed the landscape with more paper collage.   This painting will be in my Museum show in July.

White Poppy Linda Rupard

This is another painting I painted for our Caboose show inspired by   old Masters  paintings.   This is a painting inspired by Georgie O'Keeffe's big flowers.   20 X 24 gallery wrapped canvas with sides painted to match painting so no frame needed.   A quote from Readers Digest explains O'Keeffe  as larger then life just as her paintings were often larger then life, so too were the lore & legends surrounding  this extraordinary woman.   I used a artificial poppy to paint this flower.   O'Keeffe used artificial flowers too because living in the dessert  live flowers weren't as easy to come by as the artificial ones.  Our reception will be tomorrow night  5:00  to  7:00   at the Heritage Museum in Big Spring.
