The Latest Creations from Meg Black Studios

I've been working on a series of handmade paper seascapes.  Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the summer-my northern blood can't take the heat!  But, I always love being at the water's edge.  I've created each of these seascapes from the angle approaching the area where sand meets shore.  I love the sounds, smell and feel of this place.  My paintings were created exclusively with handmade paper pulp: cotton, abaca, and pigments.  

The Latest Creations from Meg Black Studios

I have continued to work with the Rock and Water motif.  This painting, made exclusively with handmade paper, is 40 x 40 x 2.5 inches-very large scale compared to my other work.  I love the bulk of this painting and the textured surface.  It reminds me of the ocean itself.  I call it "Atlantic Palette."  The colors of the rocks and water are inspired by Delacroix-his use of earth tones and cool colors to create not only the sea but the weather of the sea.  I hope you enjoy viewing my latest creation from Meg Black Studios.  Thank you, Meg Black
