Pizza Time
'Pizza Time'
Torn Paper Collage
24x36 Stretch Canvas
I took a picture of this pizza statue in NY this summer.
I love these statues and always take pictures of them. I had a
white background, then a black background. Was hard to decide
exactly what he needs. His face was really hard for me to do,
and may (probably will) work on him again.
After going to Florida for the workshop, I am considering doing
a 'bigger' one. I happen to already have a larger canvas so it is 'handy.'
Already have ideas of what to do next.
I am doing a demo in Hobbs next week end, so I will be getting that
together next week.

Workshop with Derek Gores
Nancy Standlee and Derek
Derek Showing my work
2nd piece...just got started on background
Black white and Blue
Friday, I flew to Dallas, and met up with Nancy Standlee, a collage artist from Arlington, and then we flew on to Orlando, Fla. We went to the two day workshop with Derek Gores, in Melbourne, Florida where Derek grew up.
www.derekgores.com (Check out both their websites) Some great work on both sites.
Derek is very talented and creative.(and humble) It was a good workshop.
I am not happy with my 1st piece. The Black and white one. I didn't get a likeness. I probably will do some refining with hopes of getting one, or just moving on to the next one.
Which is a side view, done in red, white black and white.
I was thrilled AND shocked when he ask to show my piece and talked about what I had done that he liked!
Nancy and I got an opportunity on Friday and Saturday afternoon, to get a few pictures.
These are all that blogger would let me add or I would have shown a couple more.
We had a lot of laughs, and learned a lot from each other. I now have another new friend.
