Canoe.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This watercolor was done on site, with a slight rain starting somewhere towards the end. When you're outside and it starts to rain, you find that your style suddenly becomes much looser than before.
For a while, a friend let us use his canoe to traverse the sloughs and ponds that surround the farm. This is an image of that canoe.
The paper I used was a handmade, unbleached, heavy rag paper with a fairly rough, raw surface and edges.
Materials: Watercolor
Size: 6" X 10"
Price: SOLD
Labels: landscapes, nature, north dakota, ships, watercolor

Old World Map Collage
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This collage was made from copies of explorer maps I found in an old textbook.
I created a collage on a Masonite panel, my goal being one of making the final product look aged, with a slight hint of color to the maps as if they had been hand tinted.
Which, in a sense, the were.
The entire surface of the completed collage is coated with a glossy acrylic finish.
One point of interest is that the backside of this painting has a small abstract painting on it. In the grand tradition of reusing or painting over old art, I recycled this masonite panel and worked on the opposite side of an old piece of art. In a sense, you get two paintings for the price of one.
Materials: Paper collage, acrylic paint, acrylic medium on .25" thick Masonite panel
Size: 6" X 8.75"
Other: Shipped without frame
Price: $40
Labels: collage, mixed media, ships

Denatured Book: Ship
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This denatured book features a parchment-look cover with an aged map and a statement that "the world is covered by freedom, for it is covered by the sea." Though it may seem strange for a person very much land-locked in a plains state, the idea of endless water seems to be the epitome of freedom.
But wait a minute. Looks are deceiving. In a small glass bottle towards the bottom of the inside diorama, a small note reads "Save me." Even in our own search for freedom, we become bound.
The wooden display case is finished to looked aged and connected to the sea, with the backdrop a collection of book interior pages.
Materials: Mixed media (book, acrylic paints and mediums, collage, wood, etc.)
Size: 16" x 22" x 3" (exterior frame measurements)
Other: Comes with wooden display frame; book is easily removed.
Price: $800
Labels: art show stories, books, collage, maps, ships
