I have finally begun work on the third of my triptych (each block is 6” x 6”). I got all the layers stacked and then didn't have time to work on it. Preparing the proposal and samples and working on our job, all the time spent in the city the last two weeks kept me plenty busy.
You may remember the first two.
naturally bulbous and evocative, and i especially love what's happening at the centre of the work you display here - the colours . . . . superb!!! steven
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling a little steamy after looking at these pictures LOL!
ReplyDeletePlease do not make a wax butthole like that first picture.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Sometimes I love being so busy, I can't keep up with it all. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteThis has been so delightful to watch Ellen - thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just love your triptych!! It is going to be beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved all your photos!

Very sensual, yes. (Nigella Lawson helped me discover how sensual edible nature is.)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, Ellen. And your art is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome and naughty and intriguing. I love this work.
ReplyDeleteSexy! Your triptych is must marvelous, Ellen.
ReplyDeletereally lovely--I'm looking forward to seeing all of them...
ReplyDeletemy oh my! I have the "vay-pehs."
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile and this stuff is quite evocative.... beautiful, but evocative.
Love the photos and your art...sensuous.
ReplyDeleteHm, I see what you mean, Ellen.
ReplyDeleteOh Ellen what a brillant image-filled post. I love how these pieces of nature influence your art. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooo-lala!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a little lie down in a darkened room now. Too many palpitations. Hope the work is going well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sensual celebration. Stunning work as always. You have been on my mind lately. I had this fantastic dream of your glass in the windows of the library we are trying to build in Nepal. It was so spiritual. Glass has a way of transforming space.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are truly erotic. The artwork is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAh. You and Edward Weston really know how to the find the sweet curves in the natural world. Beautiful pics, Ellen.
ReplyDeleteIt's a varied world we have around us, isn't it? Who in the world had the quote about man being the only animal who could, or has reason to, blush?
ReplyDeleteI can't remember for the life of me right now (more coffee is needed, clearly) but it is fascinating that we have such a sense of shame about sexuality. I think everyone remembers the "sex organs of flowers" lesson that is one of the first biology lessons kids learn...and how there is all that giggling about the entire subject.
That's what your series keeps bringing to mind for me. How even as little kids we had already been programmed to react with the "Oh, dirty!" reactions to something completely natural.
Naturally it's erotic. It's all ovaries and spores. But just let that pepper put on a little weight and she'll be--wait a minute, wrong rant.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, this post is amazing Georgia Frost like.
ReplyDeleteAmazing~ it is so great that you can see nature & replicate it in art! To me the first photo reminds me of a breast & nipple; interesting that others may see it differently... guess that's art & nature.
