| This is hanging in my living. Inspiration was a dream I had about an octopus strangling me and then I was looking through some children’s books and saw some odd pictures of octopuses (octopi?) and I did a series of octopus artworks.. the others have since seen their demise. This was oil on masonite board. (pretty sure it was oil.. I made this about 10 years ago.) |
I’ve been reading a little bit of Michelle Ward’s street team crusade challenges and this one seemed easy enough to participate in, no need to make anything new. Basically, just show a tour of art that you have hanging in your house that YOU have created. Go ahead, show it off! Here are some of mine:
 |
| oil on canvas. Inspiration was a textured wall in the art building at college. another old painting of mine. |
 |
| recent photograph at the Madison Farmer’s Market.. waiting to be hung on the wall. just haven’t gotten around to it. |
 |
| A still life painting that fits nicely into the kitchen. |
 |
| Photograph that I took about 5 years ago with a manual camera with actual “REAL film!” I used a foggilizer filter that I was really excited about at the time. It gave it a foggy, hazy look. |
 |
| This is a street in Normal, IL, painted from the art building, looking out the window. Another old painting… |
 |
| another Farmer’s Market photo |
 |
| one of my first mixed media collages… hanging in our bedroom |
 |
| Another college art building painting.. Everything in this painting was actually there, every mark on the wall, drip and scratch.. just the colors were changed. They were more like water marks, obviously.. that would be very disturbing otherwise, no? The sheet and bucket were hanging there to collect water that was dripping from the ceiling. |
 |
| more photographs, collage… not so happy with this wall and will redo at some point. We need to hang a mirror in there. |
 |
| more recent collages on a shelf in the basement |

These are wonderful and should be framed.
Marcia – thanks for coming to play! I love that you've shared not only your work, but your confidence to hang your own work as I seem to be hearing from alot of crusaders who are timid about doing it. Great idea to hang your own photos too! Love that you hung one of your first collages. It all rocks!
What a beatiful collection of art work!
