Collages from 2007

These collages where made from bits of paper from old books. The faces are made by cutting up images and pasting them down, layer after layer, until they look like faces.

Here is a little collage I did as a study. Hope you like it.

I love robots.....

I saw some of Gordon Bennett's robots while I was visiting my nephew in Brooklyn. I fell in love with them, here is his website. http://www.bennettrobotworks.com/

Artists Over Fifty

Attention: All those young-ish people out there 50 and over – would you like to post your artwork on my blog? I'd like to hear from you.

Tell me a little about yourself and your artwork.

See, this is me trying to look younger than 50, but I don't think it's working ~ c'est la vie! (Don't for a minute think I can speak French, I had to look that up on the Internet.)

Artists Over Fifty

What are some of the struggles you encounter or have encountered being an artist over fifty? Include any issues you like: health, fitness, time management, retirement issues, and so on.

Do you have a studio, or do you work out of a room in your home? Share some pictures of your workspace with us.

Are you retired? Being retired, how do you spend your time as an artist?

If you are not retired, how do you manage your time for your artwork? What are your thoughts about retiring early to pursue your artistic dreams?

Have you been an active artist all or most of your life? Or is your adventure into the art world new to you?

Do you have an artist statement? If so would you consider including it in your entry to my blog?

Do you have a resume of your artistic achievements? If so would you consider including it in your entry to my blog?

I'm from the United States, where are you from?

Would you like to send photographs of your artwork to post on this blog? You may send via mail or you may email them to janelanglois@comcast.net. If emailing images, please email your high-rez .jpgs only and be sure to include “BLOG ARTIST” in the subject line of your email.

Thanks,

I think she's done. I was going to add a white wash to her dress but I like the way it is now. What do you think? The black stripe on top of the canvas is just the edge of the canvas and not part of the painting.
