Erika Allison's Artastic Blog. Breaking the rules… or not. Laquo; Are We There Yet? Painting in a Series. Posted Monday, March 12th, 2012. My latest painting in the series is “Twelve and Twelve More”, a 10″x10″x1 5/8″ oil/mixed media painting on panel. It’s actually a variation on the theme of “twelve” because it actually contains twenty-four! It has twelve circles (the original premise), but also has twelve bars. I thought that was a fun variation. After I finished it and titled it (clever title, eh?

Erika Allison's Artastic Blog. Breaking the rules… or not. Laquo; Finding Texture Everywhere! Did I Fill the Well? Filling the Well…What Does It Mean? Posted Thursday, July 29th, 2010. Posted in Filling the well. What DOES “filling the well” mean? I’m guessing that most artists have some idea of what it means. It’s a huge and necessary part of the creative process. In order to say something, one has to have something to say! How does the well fill up again? Do you have thoughts on filling the well?

Fun With Titles « Erika Allison's Artastic Blog

Erika Allison's Artastic Blog. Breaking the rules… or not. Laquo; Painting in a Series. Mixed Media – What? Posted Friday, May 4th, 2012. Posted in Original artwork. I like a good title. It makes me try to connect the title with the artwork. I wonder what it means. I look at the work, see what I see…and sometimes wonder what it was that the artist saw. Does the title spell out exactly what it means? Or, does the title pique your interest and make you wonder what the painting is about? What does it mean?

Erika Allison's Artastic Blog. Breaking the rules… or not. Laquo; The Finishing Touch Revisited. The Final Finishing Touch. Posted Monday, May 3rd, 2010. 8220;Don’t Suck Me In”. 25″x31″x2″. Now, for the fun! Make them, of course! I cut out circles of metal and punched holes with my paper punch. I wasn’t sure if the paper punch would be strong enough to do the trick, but I got lucky. Then, I had to install them. I used double point tacks. The painting has meaning to me. Maybe it does for you, too.

Erika Allison's Artastic Blog. Breaking the rules… or not. Laquo; Fun With Titles. Mixed Media – What? Posted Wednesday, October 17th, 2012. What is mixed media? I like experimenting with the mixed media. What do you NOT expect to find in an oil painting? Maybe colored pencil. Maybe paper. You’re limited only by your imagination. Sometimes, you find really interesting results. And, sometimes, not. But, you only find those exciting results by trying things. Could it be used in a watercolor? Not likely tha...
