Riding The Bell Curve
So far this has been an average sort of week
for me in the studio. Lots
of day dreaming and being side tracked
by various obstacles and minor details.
I finished the above collage
on 8x16 canvas board
using left overs from various water color paper
cut-ups of paintings done long ago.
I was happy to discover the bell curve
on the upper right.
It seemed symbolic
of the middling way I've been feeling
and I liked lots of the
shapes that found their way into the piece.
Mirrored Bell
So I altered the collage on Paint Shop Pro's
Rotating Mirror function
and found the whole bell
just as I'd imagined it would look.
I like the new image,
sort of mysterious
in an ancient sort of way.
Circus of Mirrors
Further altering brought up this colorful
and welcoming tent!
So many ways to see piece of art,
even on an average, normal working day.

Making art is similar to doing a puzzle sometimes. Does this go here or there? Does this fit? and other times making art is like running water....just flows with no time to alter or test. I love how the bottom on fits together.
The bell shape is quite lovely...I like the way you followed it's lead and the interesting titles...a good day in the studio!
Carole, I like your painting analogies! Thanks!
Blue Sky, Thanks so much! It is fun to go where an image takes you.
