Post 352: What's on Your Easel, PWAS?

What's on Your Easel, PWAS?

The creative art group members nearly always have something they are working on. Occasionally several things at once too. So my often asked question of the Prince William Art Society (PWAS) members is what are they working on now (what's on your easel)? 

I know for me, when I first started the article, all I had was a blank canvas with an idea, prior to this blog post question hitting the Inbox. Then I was able to jump in and start with some mini works along with a larger piece. For some artists, a title for their work comes after the piece starts coming together. Here are the answers from some of the members, in various stages of progress...

Elizabeth Stathis

"The General's House" Slated for the next issue of a community magazine. Winsor & Newton cake watercolors & Micron Pen on Arches 140lb cold press watercolor block. 8" X 10"

Sue Rosenbaum

“The Currant”.  It represents a frozen river that is thawing quickly with the warm early spring sun. 8 x 8 cold pressed watercolor paper with Alcohol inks and Alloy (acts a little like silver leafing) Variety of blue artists papers to represent the water. 

The Lunar new year stamp represents new beginnings, the two butterflies represent transformations, the Ruth Asawa modernist sculptor stamp represents creativity!

Michael Kent

"George Gershwin" 20x16 Oil on canvas 

Saul Roldan

"A Life that Will Never Be" 36x48 Oil

Otis Stanley

Untitled currently, 16x20, currently in charcoal, Undecided about oil or acrylic 
 

Richard B. Tyler (RBT)

"Lady of The Rose Field" Medium: acrylic and watercolor paint Size: 18 x 24
 

Donna Liguria

 Why work on only one at a time?  Minis are an easy acrylic painting fill in while another work is drying..9x12 "Woodland Stream", Two 3x4 Mini cat paintings, Two 4x4 "Lavender" paintings, and one tiny Mini 3x4 painting for a friend of a North Carolina light house and her 2 little dogs.


 How do you handle juggling multiple art pieces at one? Do you?
