How do you spice up your life?
There is an old American proverb that says, “Variety is the Spice of Life” I have always loved this saying. It seems to apply to almost any subject matter weather you are talking about people or art. I try hard to have a variety of options within a given day, especially in my art work. Changing what I do or how I make something can really energize my work. Somehow it just makes my life a little more fun. Take the tree above. It isn’t often that you see a tree rendered in metal on a background of tissue paper. Taking two seemingly opposite materials such as metal and paper can bring a new perspective to a piece of art.
The tree is made of 36 gauge aluminum which is a very heavy metal that can be tooled. The background is a tissue paper collage, sealed with matte medium, that creates a textured surface for painting. The piece measures 12″ x 14.5″ and was commissioned by Mark and Deborah Meyer of Hoboken, NJ.
As you go about your day take a moment to consider how you might add a bit of spice to to your life. The possibilities are endless and remember I love to read your comments. Sharing your thoughts might just help someone see life a bit different.
