Your ideas are helpful.<br /><br />Kathy, Chuck Close did a number of different things but they all revolved around the idea of a grid. Quilts are designed around a grid and resonate with me.<br /><br />Thanks Mary Sonya, for commenting. My followers went from 460 to 1,460!<br /><br />Susan, I was thinking along the same lines.<br /><br />Heather, I hope you post your collages. I would like to see them.<br /><br />Thanks, David. Your comment made my day! <br /><br />Rhonda, I hope the next stuck button lands on your blog. Thanks for all the kind comments and encouragement.<br /><br />Hi College Student, thanks for sticking around and joining in the fun.<br /><br />Joyful, you say the nicest things!<br /><br />Welcome, Kass. Thanks for following along.<br /><br />Thank you , Sheila. I appreciate the comment.<br /><br />Magdalena, I hadn't thought of it, but it does look like the Clockwork Orange! Looking forward to working with you next week.<br /><br />Ally, thanks for the nice words. Happy you check in each time.<br /><br />Miss Murasaki, I'm glad you found me. Welcome!<br /><br />Hi R! (what does R stand for?) I appreciate your compliment.<br /><br />Glen, thanks for the comments and suggestions. The Chuck Close book was written by Martin Friedman. He was the curator for the Walker Museum in Minneapolis, MN and purchased for the museum, the first painting Chuck Close ever sold....the Big Self Portrait...the one that started it all.Myrna Wacknovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086356475188254683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-37659660215243947222010-01-16T19:40:30.207-08:002010-01-16T19:40:30.207-08:00Admire the latest image: the concept of a self por...Admire the latest image: the concept of a self portrait merged with the quilt pattern shows a multi-interpretational theme. <br /><br />As far as Chuck Close: his full oeuvre intimidates me. Who wrote the biography you have read?<br /><br />As far as your comment regarding DVDs: you might consider Flickr.com as well. They enable backups of art, photos, scans, for a nominal fee—if you opt for the paid membership idea.<br /><br />Cheers!Glenhttp://davidglensmith.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-91067693931736754332010-01-16T17:08:09.406-08:002010-01-16T17:08:09.406-08:00another great painting! ^^another great painting! ^^Erzulliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818372631027292970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-32651901276250145802010-01-15T19:20:23.274-08:002010-01-15T19:20:23.274-08:00I'm glad the "next" button got stuck...I'm glad the "next" button got stuck, because that's how I found your awesome blog!

Good luck on the workshop! Sorry about the watercolor society and accepting you this year - there is always next year and you are one who will keep trying and getting in because your work should be one of the top 100 :) What a trick to get more lookers - how do I stick that next blog button? ha haRH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-43895946475491606042010-01-15T07:42:22.306-08:002010-01-15T07:42:22.306-08:00Dear Myrna,

I have to create 5 collages for Monday and one of them is to be similar to what you have going on here, whereby the image is kind of sunken into the background behind lots of transparent materials. Excavation they are calling it. I'd be overjoyed if it came out a fraction as good as yours, but I know it won't!
