Educating Students in the 21st Century
| Grandpa Donn's Roses | |
I started this oil painting in the summer after getting an idea to transform a painting I had stored away for a long time. It was an unfinished painting by my fiancé's grandfather that I wanted to preserve. It was off the stretchers and slowly falling apart. He loved roses and I’m grateful to have beautiful flowers from one of his rose bushes every year. The background is of his painting that I weaved together and stretched over 3 boards. It formed a trellis-like texture for me to paint the roses and pollinating bees on. The frame loudly repeats the nature inspired theme with real tree bark assembled like a puzzle. Again, I was experimenting with texture and color.I really enjoyed working on this piece, especially while remembering summer as I was finishing it up in December. :P Grandpa Donn’s Roses is on display (as well as my student’s and colleague’s artwork) at the Rochester-Finger Lakes Regional Exhibition at RIT’s Bevier Gallery from January 30 – February 25, 2009. Reception is Friday January 30 from 5-7pm.
