I decided to go with a red-orange in between intersections of the large square-ish “holes” from a piece of monoprinted construction fence fabric. It was hard to decide if the outer layer should pop out or the light yellow. I am much happier with the brighter color.
After I glued the large square-ish “holes” from a piece of monoprinted construction fence fabric on an old yellow painting I’m repurposing, I thought dark purple paint would look good in the intersections of the squares. While they do look “good” and they are sorta a few centuries royal looking, I really want a much brighter color that goes better with the rest of this series, so now I’m considering a bright orange or …
This is Holes in the Fences 1 Revisited. I collaged a layer of monoprinted texture of construction fence fabric, with the large holes removed, over the original painting, and added additional paint is on the new layer. It's the third of five 18”x24” paintings on board from my Holes in Fences series created in 2010. Each painting has one color from the rainbow in the background.
It’s been two weeks since I last got to work on this painting. After dinner was able to paint teal around the edges of the collaged construction fence fabric. It’s going to be a cold and rainy April weekend and I’m planning on taking advantage of time, that would normally be gardening time, for studio time instead.
Here is the month of March in my Dates in a Life Walking Project 2025 painting, a year-long painting documenting the number of steps I walked each day. I have documented my steps in paintings since 2016.
The black icons represent up to 9999 steps walked each day, red represents 10,000-19,999 steps and yellow represents 20,000-29,999 steps.
I was able to walk 10,000 steps on four days and the day with the black round icon, I walked 9310 steps, but unfortunately didn't have time to walk 10,000.
The Iridescent Bright Gold background paint used to signify the days (mostly weekends, but also including holidays, vacations days, and sick days) I was not at work, which usually gives me more time to walk for exercise than the days I am at work, with the exception of sick days (of course).
The picture below shows January through March with plenty of room for the rest of the year.
