Brevity is the sister of talent. (Anton Chekhov)
I like this statement. Sometimes a piece just quickly and easily falls in to place, and yet I don’t trust that it is done and I keep going to the point of ruining it. Hmm? Enjoy! http://linda-germain.com/
Sunday – Sunny and warm for the first day of November. I took a pile of photos of some of my gelatin prints. I struggled and then gave up and learned the limits of my camera and lighting. I can always improve and be patient for now. The rust prints are progressing. I figured one way to control the rust image is to scratch the metal. It helps that my studio is in a machine shop. Plenty of metal around to rust up! I found gapingvoid on twitter. He inspires me to do 200 drawing in 30 days! I worked on a bunch of collages today. Right now they are a gross gray, green, blue color. It is time to sand them. Enjoy! http://www.linda-germain.com/

I am inspried by rusty and distressed things. I have collected a bunch of rust in my travels and tried a couple of rust prints. Today, I am doing a couple more.
I am usually not very good at the wait and see part. I am also playing with as series of collages that start with a base of security envelopes, paint, sanding, collaging back and forth until complete. I am inspired by Dean Nimmer’s book Art from Intuition. I like his idea of sorting my artwork into piles like, dislike, like but needs something.
