Altered Art
I have a collection of affordable found objects from Antique stores. Some folks call what I do as Antiquing, I tend to call it Junking, because the stuff I acquire is really just someone else’s junk like garage sale finds and second hand store castoffs. If you can only afford what some folks call junk, sometimes you can really find treasures.
The moment I found these idyllic photos, I remembered Henry David Thoreau’s, “Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.” I goofed when I did the lettering on this project because I used the word “a” instead of the word “the” which my edition of WALDEN uses. So apologies go to the linguists of our wonderful Redbubble site.
Perhaps at one time Henry used “a” in his working of his masterpiece.

This is gorgeous Beth! I really like the depth and how those photos sort of look like reflections…
izzybeth replied
thank you so much, Tony. As you may recall this one started as a huge experiment in layering on of paint and glazing. There really are no real false starts. I began by blending a blue and pink and glaze in a plaid-hatch. I wanted to see what type of purple would come up through the blending. Then quickly realized the look was not what I wanted for the photo application. So I continued to layer. I tried layering white tissue to mute the existing color and then continued to work and work it… I thank you for your wonderful comment and thanks for the Favorite.

Love this type of work so much. There’s such a strong organic feel to them. . . and also this great free-flowing narrative that is highly entertaining to think on. Great job!
izzybeth replied
Thank you so much for your supportive comment. I am happy to be able to convey the organic feel that you enjoy. Maybe that occurs through the long process of creating it.
