Meeting of Minds 11 - Annie Smith Piffel and Janice Schoultz Mudd


Janice and Annie have really put their creative talents together here.
They have anchored all of the smaller elements especially Greg's Photograph by surrounding them with color and connected the top and bottom of the painting. It is beginning to feel like a planned out piece by the looks of it, but if you have been following this blog, you know this changes each day with each new addition.

I was working at the gallery last week and couldn't keep my hands off this painting. It needed to get connected and I decided to give it a shot. I had my paints there to work on my own painting and the brush just kind of drifted over.....
Well, the interesting part is what I discovered the first time and that is that this prepared board surface takes the paint in an entirely different manner than canvas. The paint dries much faster and seems to soak right into the surface. I had to really work in small areas to get any blending going on.
