Art thread 2020

Probably my last art of the year. I reworked this wood block a little and did some colour prints. The large 4 in one is going to be a gift and I might even give away some of the others. If anyone wants one am happy to post for a server fund contribution to cover postageDSC_2918.JPGDSC_2919.JPGDSC_2920.JPG

I did the big (1.5x1?m) blue canvas in 2018 when I found out my partner died and nobody had told me.

The canvas was Freecycled from someone's wedding, I managed to cut it by mistake when I got it. I hadn't decided what to do with it til I got Bad News and just painted it out.

I wanted to do a canvas for each colour of the rainbow - the day I found out he died, I was at our soup kitchen jumble sale, and bought him some cushions and a spice rack (bad joke about his substance misuse problems) for whenever he got housed.

After I found out, I filled the spice rack jars with coloured glitter, and kept the cushions.

I couldn't start on any other colours though.

Then last week I burst a bit of my grief bubble.

I painted a bomb and a heart in black, then just redded all over it.


Orange or purple are next.

E2a might see if I can get better pics, I'm not used to this phone and am historically terrible with attachment of all contexts :D

Fine cat hair detail:

Going to redo the yellow I forgot about later - I saw a picture in a mental health setting that I wanted to copy before the Sam chaos hit, made a bad start and abandoned it. Just found a very yellowy years old start on a project I hadn't thought of at the time :hmm: :D
I think I'm saving green til last.

Can I put a couple of things by my uncle on here? I'm no (visual) artist but I like art right enough, and he's recently sent me some pics of what he's been up to art-wise since he retired.
 
Orange is the colour of madness and the logo of cooltan arts (rip), where I used to heal and thrive.

I've been closing loops and squaring circles in late 2020.

My feminism is woman centred and apparently I'm on fucking fire at the minute.

Just one orange shade used, squirted straight onto the canvas, and detail carved in with with a knitting needle :)

Not what I was expecting to make :)

E2a: oh! The 'me' in the centre apparently also has a devils tail.

Eat that, Maggi Hambling.
 
Going to leave the yellow in 20Whenever

Just purple and green left, then.
Maybe white as well, if I fancy incorporating a 2021 suffragette colour triptych within the whole rainbow gamut :hmm:

See you all in this year's thread :)
