Sun!

 

Every Sunday morning I add icons on my yearly walking painting. In the winter, the sun shines on the December area which makes it hard to see what I’m doing as the year is coming to the end. That said, I’m always happy to have the sun shining!

New Work: Mauve

 

New work in my Wordle series: Mauve.

The colors in the grid represent the results of six of my completed Wordle puzzles, finished in the six rows or less.

The dates of the puzzles are December 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 2024.

The words those days were: Mauve, Crypt, Shove, Hilly, Flung, and Patio.

Mauve is mixed media on board and measures 6" x 6".

New Work in Progress

I’m working as many 6”x6” Wordle themed paintings as I can make start to finish, or start, this weekend. Sometimes I need blue painters tape to help keep me within the size and format so I don’t screw up.

New Work: Brown

The Xs (not the letters) in the squares are from the results of my finished Wordle puzzle on November 25, 2024, handstamped on a corner of a very large appliquéd tablecloth that was gifted to me. The word that day was Brown. 

Brown is mixed media on fabric and it measures 11” x 15.5”.

New Work: Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong

Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong is about being successful (or not) on the sixth row of Wordle. I’m guessing not many people would share when they didn’t get a correct answer, but for me, it’s all about patterns no matter which way it turned out.

The dates of the puzzles are from July 19, August 12, 17, 23, September 1, 6, 7, 27, October 5, 6, 11, 15*, 19*, 23, 24*, 25, 28, November 2, 3, and 10*. The words those days were: Refer, Skiff, Storm, Leech, Mushy, Rerun, Owner, Beaut, Miner, Lager, Gusty, (Corer), (Fiber), Goofy, (Bossy), Frown, Bawdy, Snoop, Blaze, and (Inner).

* The words in parentheses are the correct answers on the days I didn’t answer correctly.

Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong is mixed media on fabric, and measures 26” x 27”.

New Work in my Wordle Series

 

I finished these two Wordle themed paintings a few months ago but forgot to post them.

 

I monoprinted a gridded construction fence pattern on the back side of two different upcycled antique embroidered hand cloth knowing that the grey paint from the grid would soak through to the front. The Xs are handstamped rubber erasers.

 

The above painting is entitled Force, Bevel, Quite, Storm. The Xs in each square are from the results of four finished Wordle puzzles on Mar 30, May 26, Jul 17, Aug 17 2024. It measures 10.25" x 18".

 

The painting below is Finch, Manga, Refer, Skiff. The Xs in each square are from the results of four finished Wordle puzzles on Apr 6, Jun 10, Jul 19, Aug 12, 2024. It measures 10.25" x 18.25".

More New Work in Progress

 

After being away for Thanksgiving, I had an extra day off yesterday and some added time tonight after dinner, to highlight the squares that had the correct letters for 20 Wordle puzzles. This painting is about being successful (or not) on the sixth row of Wordle. I’m guessing not many people would share when they didn’t get a correct answer, but for me, it’s all about patterns no matter which way it turned out.
