![]() "Mary's Garden"
40"h x 30"w, acrylic $1500 This was another wonderful inspiration / challenge by an abstract artist. Looking at this challenge brought back a memory of about 9 years of age-down the road quite aways there was an old home with a long abandoned garden. I had to stand on tiptoe of the broken gate to see through and beyond to a yard full of wild flowers long forgotten and the colours were glistening in the soft summer rain. COVID has me feeling like that standing at the gate waiting ... ![]() "here or there"
10"h x 14"w, silk fiber drawing/fusion $225 Imagining the colorful and the joyous that waits beyond the fence and the gate. |
![]() “Beyond the Gate”
16"h x 16"w, acrylic, collage, marker $400 Inspired by Catherine’s post I decided to paint a colourful wild flower garden with soft colours and various shapes. ![]() "Gates"
14"h x 11"w, cyanotype print on 140lb (300g) watercolor paper Contact Mario Cerroni for pricing: [email protected] Gates can be seen as keeping something in, or keeping something out. This piece used the idea of gates to show the balance and struggle between nature and urban spaces. |
![]() "Drizzle"
18"h x 12"w, free motion embroidery $200 I used a log cabin quilt block to build blocks to mimic looking through a gate or grid. The stitches are the flora in the rain, mostly vertical stitches. I would like to try it again with smaller blocks and bolder stitches. I do like the effect and it feels lovely to the touch. ![]() "Allotment"
4.625”h x 6.5”w, mixed media mosaic, created with stained glass, Italian and Mexican smalti, millefiori, and ceramic on a bamboo backing $180 SOLD Inspired by Catherine’s wonderful bright colours and shapes from Through the Gate, I was reminded of allotment gardening in England. So many neighbourhoods in London have public gardens open for green thumbs of all caliber to work cooperatively and independently. I have a particular interest in allotments for food sharing and food bank use - an important commitment to communities in need. |
