world is too much with us, with watermarkThis poem is inspired by a poem by William Wordsworth, entitled The World is too Much with us, about the dangers of industrialization and how we may lose our connection with nature, and eventually with ourselves, due to greed. "The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers,;-Little we see in nature that is ours; We have given our souls away, a sordid boon! Wordsworthhttps://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/the-dream-of-time-travel-with-watermark-1.jpgThe Dream of Time travelHere is another mixed media piece in progress. It's based on a fantasy I have about going back to being a child, as represented by the multiple figures that get smaller as you follow the path. Sometimes adulting is just too hard, and I long for carefree days full of energy, health, and creativity. Here is a quote from a writer Mary Oliver which nicely sums up this idea: "Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor." Mary Oliverhttps://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/the-dream-of-time-travel-with-watermark.jpgThe Dream of Time travel, with watermarkhttps://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/gather-ye-rosebuds-with-watermark_edited-1.jpgGather Ye RosebudsThis is an unfinished piece about the fleeting nature of time and youth. I have used several symbols to illustrate this, such as the clock and the grim reaper. The other supporting characters are myself and my husband, back when we were about 12 years younger. It's about not letting too much time pass before you make important decisions. For us it was about getting married. The poem which inspired this piece states: "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a-flying, And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying." Robert Herrick, To the Virgins, Make Much of Time. https://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/you-make-beautiful-things-sketch-flat-with-watermark.jpgYou Make Beautiful things, sketch, flat, with watermarkhttps://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/you-make-beautiful-things-with-watermark.jpgYou Make Beautiful things, with watermarkhttps://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/anxiety-collage-with-green-paint-and-watermark.jpgAnxiety collage, with green paintThis piece is about emotionality, and especially about anxiety. I used bright contrasting colors here to try and emphasize the jarring and explosive nature of anxiety and symptoms associated with it, which can easily turn your world upside down, difficulty breathing, making decisions, sleeping, avoidance behaviors , etc. Its a subject close to my heart, because I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and have had to work very hard to not let it take over my life. Several of my family members have it too, hence the DNA strands. Here is a quote from Emily Dickinson that inspired it: "In this short Life that only lasts an hour How much- how- little is within our power.https://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/anxiety-collage-with-watermark.jpgAnxiety collage, with

Afterwards, I re-painted the offending areas with Liquitex acrylic paint. Still not sure if I am happy with these sketches, but I don't want to get stuck on them either. They are after all, supposed to serve as ideas for completed paintings. https://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/nature-sketches-2-flat.jpgNature sketches, 2, flatMy first step to re-work these paintings was to cover up the areas I didn't like with gesso and let it dry, so I could re-paint with acrylic.

I also decided to limit the color palette to turquoise, red-orange, yellow-orange, blue- violet and muted green, with some additions of brown, black and white. I used a soft pastel to draw in the composition after the acrylic paint had dried. 2017-12-05T23:02:06+00:00monthlyhttps://artofschmidt.com/2017/09/13/what-to-do-when-your-painting-goes-terribly-wrong/https://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/most-recent-revision.jpgMost recent revision, Creative BlockThis is my most up to date version of the acrylic painting, Waiting: Creative Block. Here I have begun painting in the new compositional elements to add depth to the desert landscape, including sand dunes and distant mountains. I also painted in the flesh tones and shadow colors on the figure.

I am finally happy with the composition, but I wanted to try one more color scheme. This scheme was another complementary color scheme of red and green with subdued background colors so the main figures really stand out. I still have to complete the final painting in acrylic, oil or pastel, whichever I choose.https://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/the-secret-sits-final-version.jpgThe Secret Sits, final versionStage 5: The Secret Sits. I felt that the composition was lacking something, especially since the main figure was not interacting with the audience, so I made a new Photoshop file with different photos. https://artofschmidt.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/the-secret-sits-color-test-3.jpgThe Secret Sits, color test 3Stage 4: The Secret Sits.
