Sunflowers 2012. Created using acrylic on canvas with gloss protective finish. This is one of a series. I created from 2012-2013. I based these paintings on drawings I planned to create into stained glass windows or plate wear once my kiln and studio space was finished. However with a newborn around that time I realized I had to put playing with glass around the house on the back burner for the time being. I dusted off the paintbrushes, took a deep breath, and I renewed a creative outlet I had not done since freshman year at KCAI. It was a fun, quick little paintings I could attempt while my daughter napped and fit into my busy schedule at that time. It is important to not ignore your creative drive no matter how busy for your life! </div>

These paintings are 2.5 x 3.5" and are created using ink, watercolor, and colored pencil on watercolor paper. All of the items shown are no longer available, sold 2014.

Creating Artist Cards has become a great past time for a quick and creative outlet of ideas in a small amount of time. These Items were created using acid free watercolor or thick drawing paper, watercolors, ink, and colored pencils. Artist retains all rights of images and art. </div>

I held this grudge against the splatter paint master for years. "Yuck! another Pollock Painting!" I decided to do more research on this artist I had denounced for so many years. Learning more about the artist and his paintings, made me appreciate his work more that I now understand the concept behind it. When it doubt of an Artist, Check them out. You might be shocked to find what new appreciation you'll have for them. In Response, here is my take on Action Painting.

Having a show in an old warehouse does pose a few dangers when it comes to light source, electrical and old flooring. Luckily we worked around those issues and none of Tom's heavy sculpture work landed in the room below. However we did not anticipate the brick wall literally crumbling as we tried to hang our work. Always have at least 3 back up plans on how to hang things. Fortunately double sided velcro stick tape was our saving grace.Liven_It_Up_Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17288851795469295719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295986160300517748.post-58205110860250358262010-07-02T12:20:00.000-07:002010-07-02T12:41:46.804-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx3twZm4C7KCZOO-6mKsowQ2IoRd2iCgpsoBgrNnHQ4NPGPs9UBmqeJJXjr9tcvqDRyjz7g_xLcrePC9BzYz2XXC_1wzuYNQrhN41kVu2nBGTq0qvnQZlFkal7Smb5C-g3D-JE3FrKpnoz/s1600/Illimination+Set+up+on+floor+.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx3twZm4C7KCZOO-6mKsowQ2IoRd2iCgpsoBgrNnHQ4NPGPs9UBmqeJJXjr9tcvqDRyjz7g_xLcrePC9BzYz2XXC_1wzuYNQrhN41kVu2nBGTq0qvnQZlFkal7Smb5C-g3D-JE3FrKpnoz/s320/Illimination+Set+up+on+floor+.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489395266042379522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ4KrrJhL31ZVufoLhbGGcbsykybs26MapweFupw7wxsWhWuxrUupLZqGugREEhChX6p5ROXROlImJZq1nDTYY15wd8trljt9j3nThvZiK2zsYAxMFU22nPWT5P4O3BKjDau83BzzqTU5O/s1600/illimination+of+art+for+show+1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ4KrrJhL31ZVufoLhbGGcbsykybs26MapweFupw7wxsWhWuxrUupLZqGugREEhChX6p5ROXROlImJZq1nDTYY15wd8trljt9j3nThvZiK2zsYAxMFU22nPWT5P4O3BKjDau83BzzqTU5O/s320/illimination+of+art+for+show+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489395256257687634" /></a><br />LizIven©2010<br /> Figuring out what I was going to feature in my Senior Art Exhibition.

I was having Artist Block and didn't have any ideas i felt strong enough to evolve towards working on. Believe it or not it Does happen. From this piece i can honestly say it opened the door and relieved the tension building up towards my show. Thank god Caitlyn stopped me from throwing this out in my time of artistic frustration. Little did i know then, it would lead to an evolution of my art that I worked hard for and was proud of. It just goes to show that I was lost in the stereo typical "Artists are always there worst critic" attitude. I have lived and learned since then.Liven_It_Up_Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17288851795469295719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295986160300517748.post-60975324315475639502010-06-07T20:37:00.000-07:002010-06-07T20:43:13.988-07:00Chaos on Canvas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEIHuBXJyFQBbPS32UvCYROxzH64uD6c7swkBIjnNjCqlwnMwy_1xaY9-dFgzMqSvEjeV9m5dpZF7kT9AObP9fmgeliezq9WmmXQ1Lu0GUSbtVJIOFH9m2Zp5ZEcA7ymQ6pmPmuUIuDgMH/s1600/Print+Disconnect+1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEIHuBXJyFQBbPS32UvCYROxzH64uD6c7swkBIjnNjCqlwnMwy_1xaY9-dFgzMqSvEjeV9m5dpZF7kT9AObP9fmgeliezq9WmmXQ1Lu0GUSbtVJIOFH9m2Zp5ZEcA7ymQ6pmPmuUIuDgMH/s320/Print+Disconnect+1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480243254536430946" /></a>Liven_It_Up_Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17288851795469295719noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295986160300517748.post-33887113828508825462010-06-07T20:24:00.000-07:002010-06-07T20:34:15.296-07:00Now I've received a lot of questions about the medium and technique that I used for the follow images. I have been using Acrylic Silkscreen, layered on wood board. I also engrave into the pieces to create a textural effect that cannot be seen by these photographic images I currently have of them. I also occasionally use colored wax based pencils for finer line detail. I love the effect of natural wood grain and do my best to have it become transparent and complementary of my work. Each piece is one of a kind. I destroy the matrix of the screen every time I produce a piece to keep things fresh and nontraditional of printmaking ideals of multiples. This might also give the illusion of a painting over print, but there is no traditional painting involved.Liven_It_Up_Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17288851795469295719noreply@blogger.com0
