ybonesy, I love this collage. It’s just stunning. I’m inspired by how you worked on your art during Sit Walk Write in Taos in December. I want to try that next time I am there. I love stealing off during the Silence and taking photographs. I find there is a still quality to them that makes me feel peaceful. It’s that quality I feel from your collage. It is playful and peaceful. Lovely.
Wow! When will copies of this print be available on etsy?
Thanks, you two. Good idea, Teri. 2011 intention–start to sell prints and cards on Etsy. 8)
QM, I forgot my box of papers for collaging, so I walked into that fine art print shop that sits at the beginning of Morada Lane, right near Kit Carson Road, at closing time and asked if they wouldn’t mind giving me a bunch of scraps. Which they did.
Collage is a way to loosen up, to get out of the precision of drawing and painting. Or at least, a way to get me out of my particular need for precision. I loved doing it.
this is so beautiful!
such a fun piece of art, yb. It took me right to the pigeon houses all lined up in a row kinda like some ancient Roman apartment houses where the residents have known each other for years during centuries of people occupying the same space, dying, new people moving it, and the building still remains.
Thanks, CGP!
Bob, love that description. I wonder about pigeons–are they like sandhill cranes, which mate for life and come back to the same areas again and again? We have a small group of cranes that are in our pasture as I type, we imagine they’re the same that have come back each of the four winters we’ve spent here.
Yesterday, a large handsome coyote (coyotes in these parts are usually small and rangy) was sitting there watching one crane couple. Dee spotted him when she went out to put her horse away. Jim walked out to where the coyote was hanging and chased him off. We couldn’t stand watching a coyote attack a crane–not that you want to see a coyote attack anything, but those cranes are so big and majestic, it would have been heartbreaking to see.
This is lovely, YB.
yb, googled your questions about pigeons mating for life and they do.
Bob, thanks for looking into that. I had a feeling they must mate for life, given that they have that strong homing instinct.
Thanks, Robin.
Impressive! I can’t believe this is a collage! This is absolutely lovely! Every single time I’m waiting for the red traffic light to change, I’m always staring at this house with a whole bunch of bird houses sky-high (almost as high as the neighbor’s rooftop). Your collage reminds me of that. Speaking of which, I did a few collages this past year (but all of them are unfinished), so I need to finish them really!
Also, nice ‘ku to go with the collage. 8)
