Circles ....


I created a series of work, probably 30 pieces, that resembled one another.  This had been the first time I attempted to create work with the same theme over and over again.  



I was pretty wrung out from the repetitiveness of the the underlining theme.  Still the familiarity allowed me to get at some other qualities that I had never worked with before.  

These are just 4 of the 35 pieces I managed to finish in about 4 or 5 months.  


Sometimes just keeping the background color consistent throughout was difficult.  It meant I had to wash the  paper the same exact way each and every time, down to and including the shadows in the work from blending the browns and pinks.

I enjoy looking at them when they are grouped together, sometimes I feel it's a bit overwhelming and then I look at it and think it's pretty fun and dramatic.  It's very much unlike anything I had ever done and I guess upon completion of my goal, I felt it was successful.
