These are scans and photos of my collage papers.<br /><br />Egmont – Thank you.<br /><br />Ian – Thanks. I am a minimalist by nature. I really think I could appreciate a framed piece of white paper.<br /><br />Margaret – Thank you. I live near Canada and know it to be a country of great beauty. We visit often and I have a goal of being able to sing “O Canada” without help. I’m almost there!<br /><br />Suzie – Thank you. I think you can click on the image. Most of my work does have little details.<br /><br />Suki – Most all of this is white paint – often transferred on.<br /><br />Mary – Just for you I did another post. ;o)<br /><br />Lia – Victoria has great energy. I want to see Cheryl’s work next time I go too!<br /><br />Mary Ann – Thank you!<br /><br />M – I always thought you were a writer!<br /><br />Cynthia – Marks help me say what I can not say with words.<br /><br />Bob – Yes, there is that tactile part of non-digital creating that is satisfying and fun. <br /><br />Carole – me too!<br /><br />Babs – Gee, thanks!<br /><br />John – Balanced chaos – somewhat like life at times.<br /><br />jgy – Thanks. It’s so nice to have you visit. I am enjoying your great blog.<br /><br />Derrick – I like the colors Cheryl uses too. <br /><br />Zen Dots – It is thanks to you and your lovely blog that I found the work of Cheryl Taves – and other great artists as well.

I've snatched at look at them and liked the colour in Cheryl's work and the delicacy of Caite's. I would like to read some of Rosenblatt's poetry to see just what his work is like; the idea of his angels is intriguing. And, though I couldn't read the whole piece, I enjoyed flipping through the essay on working with Annie Dillard. I must learn to find the correct verbs when I write!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-35839546861947685132009-11-02T21:31:07.530-08:002009-11-02T21:31:07.530-08:00Thank you for the treats, including the lovely col...Thank you for the treats, including the lovely collage and the description of the fun childlike feeling as you describe painting with your hands.<br />Happy painting and reading to you!shayndelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506811690843992800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-5200047132852710992009-11-02T09:00:14.875-08:002009-11-02T09:00:14.875-08:00I like the paintings by Cheryl Taves - wil be back...I like the paintings by Cheryl Taves - wil be back there. <br /><br />your small collage is a gem - your work dances - I know I am being redundant in this comment, but there is joy and freedom in your work and still it all works without being "unruly."

I try to remember to wear gloves, but sometimes my hands just jump in of their own volition!

Many artists work directly with their hands and find it produces more spontaneous work. See my Elena Popova post http://margaretryall.blogspot.com/2009/03/whats-on-my-wall.html I've watched Elena work and it's sometimes like conducting a symphony and other times caressing.<br /><br />Thanks for bring me two new artists (and Canadian) that I didn't know.
