Blue Lace

Here is a new abstract of mine painted in watercolor on Yupo (synthetic paper). This paper was originally used in the printing industry. It is slick and non-absorbent, the paint literally sits on the surface . You need to be patient and careful or all of your hard work will simply lift off when you apply more layers. I tried this several years ago and didn't care for it. I have painted several abstract or semi-abstract paintings with it and find that I really love it, at least at the present time.

Web Site Issues

A couple of weeks ago, I was notified by my web host that my site had been potentially targeted by hackers. I needed to replace the existing information, so I decided to do a completely new site. What a job! It is still in progress and probably will be for another month. There are a couple of pages there now and I will be adding them as they are ready. http://lauragibbs-studio.com/

As you have probably noticed, my work is becoming more and more abstract. The painting on the right is the largest painting I have worked on. It is 30x60, acrylic with gold and silver leaf on canvas. It was so much fun, the gold and silver are kind of embedded just in a few areas, so that they kind of peek out. I was intimidated initially, but pleased with the finished work. I will be working larger in the future though probably not this large.

The name of this painting is Muse.
