Jacob Currie. Or Curry. Spelling wasn’t that important to Irish folks in 1905. All that remains is gorse, in color. “Gorse?” you ask. “Of course”, I reply. Or is that “Of corse”?
And more on the collage
This is St. Patrick. Or, more accurately, this is a statue of St. Patrick. This is a statue of St. Patrick with a bit of a glow, the outlines of gorse, and the outline of a headstone where the man who was born in the cottage was buried.
Cottage Collage, continued
Weird color – working late makes for some odd photography. Same cottage, gable end. Sometimes, I impress myself! Of course, the magnifying light is my Best Friend.
Irish Collage
Ever notice the word “collage” is the word “cottage” minus the t-crossing? I confused myself with my sloppy handwriting and couldn’t figure out what my notes meant – collage drawing or cottage drawing! Here is the Cottage Collage for Mrs. Bob in its current state of development: And, for the sake of Mr. Google, this […]
That Wisconsin Art Show
Remember I posted about entering a competition – juried and judged art show in Wisconsin? My 2 pieces are now in the show. They did not place, but they were juried in and look great on the site! This is the piece that is in the exhibit book but not in the show (go figure. […]

Delight Abounds (more on the Collage)
Mrs. Bob reviewed the sketches. To my delight, she had an immediate first choice! Bob looked it over and suggested a change. To their delight, I immediately erased and redrew the good suggestions, and we were all pleased with the results. Isn’t that a royal mess? Good thing Bob and Mrs. Bob know that I […]
Beginning a Collage
Drawing is one thing; planning a drawing is another; planning a collage is on another planet of complexity! I love love love to do these. The first time I thought of it was on a backpacking trip. In order to take my mind off my aching feet, I began designing pictures in my head. Because […]
Cottage Commission Completed
This is the photo provided by Bob, My Favorite Customer. (That is a lot to type so I will refer to him simply as Bob for the rest of this posting.) It is in color, and probably taken with a wide angle lens which makes the perspective look a bit distorted. In addition, there is […]
