100 Days of Art Botanical

100 Days of Art Botanical: Days 65 – 81

This year's 100 Day Project has been challenging, fun, exasperating, exhilarating, and everything in between.  Take a peek at my most recent pieces of "art botanical."  You'll see layered printmaking, mixed media collage, acrylic painting, and more!

I counted the stencils and prints I shared earlier in the week for days 78 & 79:

And then it was back to mixed media collage:

I'm enjoying mixing up my media, substrates, subjects, and more.  However, I do see some similarities across many of these pieces.  Do you? 

Here's what I see:

  • Green, green, green, green!
  • Also lots of purple, pink, and orange (which makes sense with all the green).
  • I tend to like/create more leaves than flowers.
  • I often use a single off-center focal point.
  • Outside of botanicals, I use lines and circles the most.

Have I missed anything?  I'd love to know what you see!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • That orderly little patch of black dots in the next-to-last one seems like a real departure for you. Is that the one you “auditioned”? It really draws my eye, and I like it… but wondering if you do.

  • The first five are my absolute favourites. I love the layering, the colour combos and the leaf designs you chose. In particular, I love the use of stripes, dots, stars etc. in contrast to the botanicals.I would love to find these in fabrics.

  • I see blues, too. The plant in the piece above the stencils always me think of “under the sea” plants. Love your stencils.

  • So inspiring and beautiful. I am drawn to these 100 day challenges, but just have not managed to fit the daily habit into my day. I don’t punish myself over it though; that’s why it’s a challenge, it challenges me to try, at least weekly – and that’s a habit too.

  • I definitely see a relationship in many of these – layers. Layers of color; layers of paint and paper; layers of texture. All coordinating a dance between the linear and organic, creating tremendous interest in the layers of this series.
