“Serious Play” – Last Play Session

After exploring various ways to interact with the abstract paintings and new mark-making, I wasn’t too sure of the direction I should follow to wrap up the Play Series.  One thing I was certain of was scale.  I often prefer to work large, but then find myself struggling to finish up with limited amount of time. I made the conscious decision to work in a smaller scale in order to have time to work in each piece (without rushing).  I flipped through an old sketchbook searching for inspiration and came across a few sketches I though might work.  It just happened that an animal theme emerge from the session.  I traced them on acetate and then layered the drawings over the cut up paintings.  I am very please with the way they turned out.  I might make a few more and later frame them for the baby’s room.
