Artist Trading Card Abstracts

ATCs by Phillip Hoyle, January 2017

Finally I am back to work. Actually I've been making cards and planning a number of new prints, even doing some. I have had difficulty getting around to posting! 

Again, Happy New Year. It's almost one twelvth gone. Time flies. The last ATC workshop and swap I attended had the topic Abstract. I enjoyed the freedom and the required concentration. So I'm presenting some of them here. Prints and collages. I did enjoy the challenge. I hope next week to show something more from this week's efforts. 

Happy art in the new year.

Birds Art New Year


ATCs by Phillip Hoyle, 2017 Mixed media
I've been away for a month but am back at work now to post my  192nd blog with artwork. Again I have made Artist Trading Cards ready to trade next week. Birds was the selected topic and so I recalled seeing migrating geese and other birds while traveling by car across Missouri and Kansas on my way back to Colorado. the unusual part of it was we were seeing them in flight on the last day of December. That's late, a testimony to a very mild fall or birds that had lost their calendars. 

Use your imagination. I tried using mine. And Happy New Year 2017.
