30 paintings in 30 days, January 2017 Collage
by Marion Hedger
The challenge is over and I managed to paint every day.
My personal challenge was to experiment with abstracts and experment I
did. I tried several different techniques from collage and assemblage
through to intuitive works and onto drawing. I liked all of my works,
although some were more successful than others. Now the hard work begins
of assimmilating what I learnt and putting the final touches on my most
successful paintings.
Thank you once again to Lesle Saeta for hosting the challenge, the rewards in participating outweigh the self-induced stress.
To peruse the other participants paintings vist
Leslie's blog and have a peek.
Thank you all for following my progress.
CONNECT WITH ME:
I'm an artist living in disappearing rural Georgia about an hour outside of Atlanta. I love to create contemporary artwork and am especially inspired by the voices of flowers and whispers from my beloved Appalachian mountains. Thank you for joining me on this winding trail called an art journey. Now let's turn up the music in the studio and see where it takes us.
I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.
