Alcohol Ink Art by Lynne Robinson
Thank you, Amy Saul!
You love my wonderful Magic Wizard Balls and have purchased almost my whole inventory.
If that weren’t exciting enough, you are my very first PayPal sale – so that’s pretty cool.
And if that weren’t enough, you have also signed up for my Alcohol Ink Party taking place Nov. 15th at the PAWS for People training center!
Art is back – at least some of us artists are back.
We never really left, we’ve just been in our studios creating manically to get through COVID as quietly and nimbly as possible, without totally losing our minds.
Last week was the first hint of normalcy in the art show/festival world. PAWS for People had its first art show/online auction and we were blessed with over 35 artists willing to donate their beautiful work so PAWS could raise a little $ and stay in existence. Then on Friday (and 2 more Fridays to come), the Newark Arts Alliance ran a Trunk Sale in their parking lot so some of us had the opportunity to return to what we know and love – a chance to show our work to people who love to look and sometimes like to buy.
Last night I was just not sleepy. Didn’t even try to sleep until around 2:00 pm, but when still wide awake and tossing, my dogs and I got up and hit the kitchen for a couple of handfuls of chocolate chips.
A few chips and the Time magazine didn’t cause even one yawn, so out to my studio I padded – eager to see what would be crated from the unrest I felt inside.
Were you wide awake last night like I was? I didn’t get in bed until almost 1:30 AM, but even then sleep didn’t come quickly like it usually does. After a bit of tossing and reshuffling of covers, my pup Shayne and I found our way to the kitchen for a “this will surely put me to sleep” snack of just a tad of ice cream and a couple of handfuls of chocolate chips.
I love the color blue.
You can see that in my work pretty easily. Most everything has some blue in it somewhere, and when I try really, really hard to stay away from the same old, same old blue, blue, blue – the piece rarely looks right.
I actually love all colors – as long as they are blue.
With alcohol inks, the blue choices all seem to do exactly what I want them to do – look spectacular. They are stunning by themselves, yet blend beautifully with other blues. They are even friendly to other colors – especially greens and roses.
