On July 7 I participated in the H. E. B. grocery store Art in the Cart event in Granbury from 12-4 and began the collage process on this large high heel. I have finished it this week in my studio but I got a lot of paper glued in the 4 hours and enjoyed visiting with new friends. It helped that my cell phone was left in the car so no email checking and the snacks were too far away so basically I sat and glued. I think this will be one of my 3 entries into the Arlington Museum of Art show HeART Beat show with 12 artists and opens August 13 to September 21. Because it was at H. E. B. I had to add a little grocery ad flyer info on the side of the painting. (The title comes from some text glued on the collage).

Here is a closeup below but I hate it that Blogger doesn't give you a way to rotate your photos and I've added it 3 times after rotating it trying to get it come through correctly but just can't seem to get it right. If you know how to rotate pictures in blogger please share and I'll post it. Anyway the turquoise is supposed to be at the top.

Where's Art?

On Saturday during the Art in the Cart event at the H E B store in Granbury TX I was knuckle deep in glue and torn paper and had other collages out on the table and in a small cart nearby, when a cute older gentleman came up to the table and said "Where's Art?" I thought he was being a "smarty pants" with some good Texas joshing and said right back.. well, look around there is art all in this area, collage, a glass artist, and a sculptor, and this is art right here under your nose. He took off his sunglasses, looked at me and said "No, I'm looking for Art..your better half." I still didn't know if this was a joke or good Texas humor or if he really thought I had a better half. I said, "Mister, I think you've got your women mixed up. The only Art in my life is this collage". I thought this explanation had him satisfied as he walked away. Later on, he stopped by again and dropped his business card on the table, "Give this to Art and tell him I said hello." Me giving up.... "I certainly will. He will be so sorry he missed you."

Pear Torn Paper Collage, "Poire" 12095 by Texas Contemporary Collage Artist Nancy Standlee

I'm sorry to report I do not know French and I had to research the word for pear in French as my best guess would have been "le pear". I make a special trip to the john when in the Macaroni Grill just to hear the recordings of Italian spoken, and about the only thing I can say in Spanish is "My cat drinks milk". Pathetic but with this thick Texas drawl it's difficult to even speak good understandable English.  On the above painting there is a combo of hand painted papers and torn magazine papers but mostly magazine papers. The hand painted is under the stencil letters and at the top right side I decorated some torn pages with a tone on tone with polka dots and a vine pattern. The colors are a little wild. Here is the side view where I've used music text from the 30's.

Featured Artist Interview on Ampersand Blog:

Ampersand posted this morning an interview about my art and using the Ampersand products. Check out the interview HERE.  I worked with Karen Meyer-Berthel, artist and social media specialist on the interview. Thanks Karen for the opportunity to share my art in the newsletter and on the blog. 

The Texas Cactus, (below) an oil pastel, is on an Ampersand gessobord and it was one of the three paintings that were included in the new book out, Painting with Mixed Media. Read about it HERE. 

The cactus oil pastel is on Ampersand Gessoboard and I guess the first time I really paid much attention to them is at a weekend excursion to Austin after a Dena Wenmohs Ranch Workshop. Dena took us to the factory in Austin and they allowed us to look in the room where the slightly damaged panels were. We were very diplomatic and gathered in a circle and took turns choosing a panel, what fun. Since then I have ordered them online. If you have questions about which board is for you, check out a good explanation on the products page.

The colors in the cactus look pretty wild also. I posted about the cactus  HERE and other paintings from the book HERE.

Cheap Joe's Art Show on FB:

If you're on Facebook search for Cheap Joe's Art Stuff and on their page there is an icon Cheap Joe's Summer Art Contest and on about page 30, there is a black and white collage of one of my sons that I did, no name, no title but it has about 19 votes!!.. vote if you'd like or not. I don't think there are prizes involved just a fun contest and you can view some art. Voting on the Creative Catalyst works won't be until August. Also as an extra saving sometimes before placing an art order it pays to check on any online promotions from these art supply sources to save a few extra dollars.

Nancy Standlee is now an internationally collected artist. Let me explain and it has been a steep learning curve for my client, Jo and I. Paypal wouldn't work but we've found a work around and soon I will be shipping a collage to Australia and I've had to do some research on how to mail but it is now in the packing stage. Thanks for the purchase, Jo.


These two collages were shipped this week to an Austin art collector and thanks again.

Mixed Media Torn Paper Collage Painting, Apple 12093 and Workshop July 21, One Day Collage by Nancy Standlee Texas Artist

Apple 12093

6"x6" torn paper mixed media collage on canvas

Posted on my online gallery at Daily Paintworks.

This collage has magazine papers and the background is text from a 1936 cookbook, The Household Searchlight Recipe Book. The pages are yellow with age and very delicate and published by The Household Magazine, Topeka, Kansas @1931. It came from a relative's estate sale and tucked inside pages are other recipe pages from their life at West Point and other recipe clippings glued and some hand written. I found the music with the lines "A Little Love, A Little Kiss" and am reminded of the only "poetry" I can quote and it's from my loved Betty Crocker cookbook @1950 with the old red cover my mom gave me during my college days (OK I majored in Home Economics) in the apple pie section is "Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze." I had to memorize old English poetry, and sonnets, and Shakespeare and all I can spout is something out of my Betty Crocker cookbook?   
I will have some small collages on display Saturday July 7 at the HEB store in Granbury during their Art in the Cart event, near the Coffee Grinder. I signed the painting on the side as I didn't want to detract from the collage area on the small canvas. 

 One day high heel collage workshop July 21 at FWCAC in Fort Worth. Click HERE for more info.

No stress. I'll furnish the image for the high heel and no prior art experience needed. Come expecting to have an enjoyable day and return home with a 12" high heel torn paper collage. You bring a limited supply list and expect to go home with new ideas and make some new friends.

 This is a high heel I've recently demoed at a workshop in Dallas.

On the Rocks, 12090 torn paper mixed media collage abstract and High Heel Shoe Collage Workshop by Nancy Standlee, Texas Contemporary Artist

 

On the Rocks

24x12 torn paper collage abstract mixed media on canvas

I chose a vertical format for long thin strips of magazine papers and vintage stamps, covered with glazes of acrylic paint and highlighted with lines of acrylic paint. See the close up below:

The sides are painted a neutral gray with some of the paint hovering at the outside edge of the painting with more black marks. The painting is signed on the side so it could be hung horizontally or vertically. The title comes from early images I'd used from a Sedona tourist magazine and there are two large images that say "Sedona" in the early layers. (I've never been to Sedona but it's on my list to take a workshop there so I'd ordered information about the area and "On the Rocks" was some text that came from this information.)

The painting can be seen at my online art gallery at Daily Paintworks HERE.

WORKSHOP:

I've recently given a one day high heel collage workshop in Dallas (June 2 at the Dutch Art Gallery) now I'm heading west to give one at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, July 21, 2012. For more information click HERE.

No stress. I'll furnish the image for the high heel and no prior art experience needed. Come expecting to have an enjoyable day and return home with a 12" high heel torn paper collage. You bring a limited supply list and expect to go home with new ideas and make some new friends. 

The supply list is available on the link or call Elaine Taylor 817.298.3021 or email gallerymanager@fwcac.org or Rachel Pope rachel@artscouncilfw.org to register. The one day class is $125.00. 

Below is a photo I took yesterday of the front of the FWCAC after I picked up my collage exhibit. (I had 16 pieces in the exhibit and sold 7 during the show). This will be a great place for a workshop with lots of room and there is a cafe in the building for a quick lunch at Z's Cafe. 

This high heel shoe sold during the exhibit.

HAND TRUCK:

I am always on the search for art supplies and then how to manage them. This hand truck was taken on it's maiden run yesterday and proved worthy with 9 paintings loaded and all in one trip to the car. Click HERE to see where I purchased it at Hand Trucks "R" Us. This particular model's handle doesn't telescope but they do have another model that does. I debated. Here it is loaded into a plastic tub with bungee cords. I put the collages, back to back,  into garbage bags for some protection. Note to self (when taking pictures of a white subject use a dark background)

I've also added it to my Art Supply board on Pinterest.

Here is a good article about Pinterest.

ART BOOKS

Leslie Saeta hosts Artists Helping Artists weekly radio program on blog talk radio the  program June 12, 2012 was devoted to expanding your art library with the "best" art books suggestions submitted by their listeners. I know I have over half of these and then went to Amazon and put the rest on my wish list. The website and blog has an Amazon widget you may or may not can see giving the books they talked about as it depends on which browser you are using. I use Firefox and could not see it but when I looked using IE there it was. I know strange.

TV:
Lonesome Dove was on again not too long ago and I saved it and recently I watched parts 1 and 2 and "fixin'" to go watch part 3.. I thought it was the best thing I've ever seen first time around and wasn't so sure I wanted to burst my bubble.. I'd forgotten just how mean Blue Duck was.. and later  I'll have to watch Gus die... that was the biggest blunder in all bookdom.. we could still be watching.. Gus in Montana, Gus goes to Wyoming.. Gus explores the northwest, Gus and Clara secret love child...Larry McMurtry.. you messed up!!

Facebook
I saw this funny saying on FB and I'll have to share as it really called my name. "Today's Housekeeping Tip"  Always keep several get well cards on the mantel. That way, if unexpected guests arrive, they'll think you've been sick and unable to clean". I had to add a comment "run hide the painting you've been working on all day and throw on your robe, hold a wash rag (wash rag, dates me doesn't it)


HEB. Granbury. Art in the Cart
I will be at the HEB grocery store in Granbury TX July 7 set up near the Coffee Grinder 12-4 with my collage. Stop by and see me glue!! with my new plastic tubs!!


PLASTIC TUBS AND EGGPLANTS:
I have been chasing plastic tubs at every variety of dollar store in the metroples, Garden Ridge, and the upscale Container Store, trying to find the "just right" tub to sort collage papers in as I've recently made some bad tub choices and I'm being overrun with tubs!! (with a lid, without, stacking, dishpans, litter pans, clear) I must try them all. Why do I do this? I do the same thing with eggplants. I've never seen an eggplant I didn't want to buy. I don't cook them. Just buy them. 


Cheap Joe's Summer Art Contest at Facebook..vote for me!!
I entered this with a collage of one of my sons along with about 727 others .. scroll down and you can jump to the page of choice.  If the pages don't change Stoney, Music and Motorcycles is on page 30 (it has ONE vote...mine) lol.. 2nd image top left. Click HERE.

Cinderella's Cupcake 12089, a torn painted paper collage painting and Published in Painting with Mixed Media by Texas Artist Nancy Standlee

Cinderella's Cupcake 12089

There is a nice perk now at Daily Paintworks. If you purchase a painting you have 4 chances in 30 days to win a featured artists painting. Check out the Artist Spotlight and Giveaway icon. 

The blue background behind the strawberry is acrylic paint the rest is painted and found papers I collaged and some text that says Fairy Godmother and Cinderella from a children's book. Here is a photo of the papers spread out in color sections getting ready to start gluing on the painted image. The paper on left, brown diamonds and metallic goes around the outside edges. Some of the stripes on the cup are metallic paints.

The work table.

I'm Published!

I felt a little like Cinderella yesterday when I received my copy of Painting with Mixed Media , Guhin and Greenman. I have 3 paintings included. 

 This "Frida" image was from an art journaling workshop I taught. Read more about it HERE and I taught the this particular Love Your Life art journaling workshop at the Wenmohs Ranch.

 The Texas Cactus is an oil pastel and you can read more about it HERE and also see some of the hand painted metallic papers used in the cupcake and it is available HERE on Daily Paintworks.

The figure "Jessie" is truly mixed media with watercolor, charcoal, acrylic and collage with a little gold gesso in the mix. The photo is from a model from the Liz Hill workshop in Houston where I learned some of these mixed media techniques and the painting is in my private collection.

I probably should have hired a professional photographer for this head shot instead of using my FlexPod tripod and a timer or at least I should have cleaned off my kitchen counter..oh, well, maybe next time or not?

Here is the Amazon link for the book HERE

The publisher, Stackpole Books HERE

One of the author's blogs, Paula Guhin Mixed Media Manic HERE

I hope you enjoy the book and try out a technique or two and email me if you have any questions about collaging a cupcake. They are fun and easy to do. 

I will be at the HEB grocery store on July 7, 2012 from 12-4 with some of the cupcake collages and working on one in progress (or eating one) this is a wonderful, brand new store. This HEB store is in Granbury, TX. Click HERE for more info about the store.

Cupcake Torn Paper Collage Painting, Arles: City in France, 12084 and Daily Paintworks "Artist Spotlight and Giveaway" by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

Arles:City in France, 12084

Torn and Hand Painted Paper Collage on canvas

8x8x3/4" depth canvas

Purchase at: Daily Paintworks

See at my online gallery at Daily Paintworks 

The title is from text from a crossword puzzle and the very base background is an old TX map but it has been covered in several layers. Music covers the edges and I worked on this while docent duties at the LGAA Saturday June 9 in Granbury.

I've never been to Arles but I'm a big fan of Vincent Van Gogh's works. He produced over 300 paintings and drawings while in Arles, including Starry Night. Van Gogh is probably better known generally than any other painter and many can relate as he didn't start until later in life but he died at age 37 and sold few paintings during his lifetime. I've read Letters to Theo and have an Amazon order on the way now for The Yellow House by Gaylord, details on 9 weeks in Arles with Gauguin. It should make for a good summer read about how they worked and what inspired them.

I get inspired by having collage papers where I can find them and I've developed several methods of dealing with so much paper, hand painted and found papers. Here are two methods I use, a plastic bin with drawers and I can sort by a color category and a smaller version of little labeled tubs I found at Garden Ridge. These are for the hand painted papers. Later I'll post the magazine papers. I'm posting these because I love seeing inside artists' studios (a legal way to be a peeping Tom?)

I really like these as they stack and I've labeled them with color names.

Some close up views of the above collage:

 The sides are from a very old music book, circa 1915 and pages are very brittle and some text below is from foreign language newspapers and stamped hand painted papers.

This is the foundation painting before I began the gluing process and I changed my mind on the color scheme after the process began which is always permissible.

I recently sold this torn paper collage from the Daily Paintworks Gallery and DPW has a special promotion now "Artist Spotlight and Giveaway" that IF you purchase a painting from the DPW site within the last 30 days you are eligible to enter 4 times in the giveaway. Each week a different DPW artist will give away one of their best paintings. Go to the homepage and click on the icon at the left to read more about it HERE.http://www.dailypaintworks.com/

I finished this day 3 of the recent Carol Nelson workshop in Granbury and used layers to create this vibrant abstracted tree painting. Textured areas with Custom Patch and collaged tree areas with painted watercolor paper and collage bushes with shotgun range paper, pierced through with "bird holes". We made foam stamps of leaves and stamped some areas in the layering process.
