"Outside the Box" mixed media abstract by Carol Nelson

"Outside the Box"

I just got back from my 5 day workshop for Jerry's Artarama in Raleigh, NC.  I got the artists in the class used to cutting, pasting, stenciling, stampling, gluing, waxing, texturing, and, oh yes, PAINTING to create their masterpieces.

They learned about ironing tyvek, cracking foam plates, waxing faux batik, making trees out of failed paintings, 50 shades of green, making their own stamps, adding texture with modeling compound, rusting metal paint, and using burlap, corrugated papers, foils, epoxy resin, and more in their work.

They learned about economical substitutes for expensive art materials.  They learned about putting their art on the internet.

Me pointing to the Jerry's sign.

We don't have a Jerry's store in Denver, so I was thrilled to walk through their "candy store."  Not far from this Raleigh retail outlet is their 100,000+ square foot warehouse, which sends art supplies to the WORLD.  

Special thanks to Sharon DiGiulio, Stacy Stover, and Joe DiGiulio from Jerry's for taking care of me and anticipating my every need.  And thanks to North Carolina artists Sandra, Debi, and Dianne for hounding Jerry's to bring me there!

This was originally intended as an "earth piece" but the wax kept telling me it wanted a moon.  So - here it is - rising moon.  This is a very textural piece with layers and layers of various colors and patterns.

Pacha Mama by Pat Stacy

PACHA MAMA (MOTHER EARTH)

By Scottsdale Artist Pat Stacy

PACHA MAMA (Mother Earth)
16" x 20" Mixed Media on Canvas Framed
A companion work to "Journey". This work also has the
spirals that journey to the center. The symbol for
Pacha Mama is the spiral. The Incas believe that
,if lifted from the center, the spiral is the pathway to
heaven. I did this piece after a visit to Peru, and I see the
memories of the wonderful walls of Machu Pichu, mounds that
remind me of the hills, and the earth colors that remind me
of Mother Earth, the center of the Incan religion.
$350.00
