I thought this was an interesting article. It's about the mural that we, the denizens of Flax's back parking lot, often see. I thought you might enjoy the back story: Herakut Mural

Hi, TACers,
After we all had our drinks and treats…
38 - Compose with a Letter
SHIRLEY started us off with a bright and loose “S”. he used her Iridori paints and her “S” had hints of dragon-ness. As it went around the table several of us found other animal forms.
MARJORIE used only one color, “Moonglow”, on yupo to make her “M” and it separated into lovely reds, blues and purples. She used a palette knife and her fingers and it had a stormy look.
AVELINA got excited and did several. My notes are a little mixed up so I hope I get this right. First she did “C” several times on the black paper from an Arches block (good recycling) to make a face. Second, “S” was all over in greens and oranges with wax and stripes. Third was “O”ooooooooooooohs, all overlapping that reminded some of us of music. Bright colors, crayon, pen and wax.
JOANIE did “O” as well but her theme was olives and additional rounded shapes, surrounded by a large calligraphic “O”.
SUE’s “S” was HOT pink with others in under layers of blue and yellow. She used watercolor crayons.
CAROLE D. asked if any of us had thought of using different alphabets which stirred a good bit of discussion about how beautiful some other alphabets are.
Lee, Pam and Joanie shared pieces from previous experiments and Pam shared about the workshop she did with Birgit O’Connor in Point Reyes.
Next week: 57 - Work with Marking Pens
If you haven’t been in a while, come!
Soon, Joanie
