New Work Wednesday & The Sketchbook Project 2012

11/30/2011

This week I have 2 new paintings to show...to make up showing a WIP last Wednesday!
My new paintings this week are entitled:

Around

And Around

These paintings layer Hawaiian maps, mica, olivine (I purchased on the Big Island of Hawaii), and acrylic on small stretched canvases.

Below I’m sharing a sneak peek of my pages from The Sketchbook Project 2012, too!
The theme I chose was Transatlantic. It was so fun (and addicting) to draw map after map after map!

Anyone else participating in The Sketchbook Project 2012?
Happy Mid-Week!

Thanks so much for posting about the Notebook project. I've missed the deadline for the 2012 project, but I just signed up to participate in the limited edition project. It's a good motivator to get me to work on something besides paint on canvas.

This is my first year participating in The Sketchbook Project! I agree that it is great motivation to work on something besides paint on canvas (my favorite!)...I already signed up for the Limited Edition project, too! :)

Hi Mary!
I love these! You really have a very unique style.
I wanted to let you know that I received your invitation for joining your Networked Blog but I can not because it seems I have gone over my 200 blog limit. So sorry!

Mary your map pages are beautiful. I had joined the Sketchbook group a few years ago, but could never find out what happened to the money if someone bought an artists sketchbook. I went to the Chicago showing when it came here and looked through about 30 of the 400 sketchbooks that were there. It was wonderful. Then I bought two of them. I asked at the gallery if the artists themselves would get some of the money, but the gallery seemed not to know. Do you know?

I love your work! What a cool mix of materials. :) I've always wanted to participate in the Sketchbook Project but was afraid I wouldn't be able to fill the book!

Lovely work on around and around as always! I like your maps on the sketchbook as well - they remind me of contour maps we studied in geography lessons many moons ago at school!
