Jamie's work of late


Here are a few examples of what Jamie has been doing lately. This first piece is hanging in my office now. This actually isn't part of the newest stuff that he's been doing but I really like it -- the colors are so striking in person. He makes these pieces with oil pastels. It takes a lot of time to build the layers since you have to wait for them to dry in between. But the colors end up being so saturated and rich. And he's on an orange and blue kick right now.

This next piece was inspired by the West Highland Way.
Variations on a theme of blue. Unfortunately the picture makes it look more "muddy" than it actually is.







He's got several more pieces at various stages of completion. I'll post pictures of those when he finishes.

Is anyone working on anything creative and new this winter? I'm thinking about picking up crocheting again. We'll see how it goes. :)
