Memory Lane

Birds for Brains
Color pencil and and oil pastel on paper

So I decided I needed to show some of my older work. There is a variety of mediums used in these examples. These were painted right at the beginning of my bird interest. And looking at this series makes me question my sanity. I may need to find a new point of interest. Luckly I have changed my canvas material and that unavoidably changes what I paint.

Tread on Me
Acrylic on cereal boxes
The point of this painting was to be a painting on the floor and over time it would get destroyed by the people who walked over it. After a few week I would try to fix it and put it back together. This was supposed to represent cultures that have been impacted and destroyed by settlers or colonists. No matter how hard we try to cover our tracks and fix what we have broken, it will never be the same.
