Transitioning from Winter to Spring

My art group, the Portland Art Collective, is doing another challenge. Each artist describes her project and what we are to create for her. Robin Olsen had us create a couple 4x4 inch collages based on the four seasons. I was assigned Winter and Spring. I enjoyed making these two collages from bits and pieces in my collage bin.


The inspiration for the Winter collage came from an online class I took with Lendon Noe "Inspired by Lives and Letters".

Final Winter Calligraphy Project

I chose Woody Guthrie's 1943 'Rulins or his New Year's Resolutions for my final calligraphy project last term with Carol DuBosch.


He wrote thirty-three in his notebook and I selected seven to highlight. I first saw them on the website- The Improvised Life.


Here are my rough drafts-
 
 Donya Burmeister  framed the artwork and I'm pleased with the results
