This is the companion piece for Starsweeper, the painting I posted last week. Ultramarine blue (in glass, it is cobalt) is my favorite color, and many of my pieces feature this wonderful hue. So this is for Paint Party Friday's question, do you have a favorite color? The answer is an enthusiastic yes!
Two years ago, both Starsweeper and Spring Cleaning were badly damaged while in the care of a neglectful gallery owner. They are tucked in a corner in my studio and I haven't had the heart to look at them since. This summer, though, I'm going to gather my courage and look at them to see if I can repair them. I'd love to have them back.
I'm new to Paint Party Friday, so I hope I have the right idea. I can smell a fresh breeze today, and this little painting seems to fit for the spring cleaning I ought to be doing.
I think I'm going to call this one Runaway, in honor of the Bonnie Raitt cover of the 1961 Del Shannon tune, because listening to it helped me to figure out how to make the sheets pop away from the background.
We're digging waaay back here, folks, from my wonderful days at Idaho State in Scott Evans' printshop. Scott would be glad to know I'm back at it again with solarplate intaglio printing.
For IF: Intricate
