Abstract with 5 Buttons

Abstract with 5 Buttons, by Mary Stebbins Taitt

This new piece is a collaboration with my Granddaughter, Rachel Taitt, who chose the colors and applies the first paint. I smeared it with a palette knife and inserted buttons.

It's done on Artrage, on my iPad, digital. I got the buttons online. This is a 5 x 7 print on matte photo paper.

I dedicated it to Kathy E from Novi, because I enjoyed her work--I do not mean to imply that my first attempt holds a candle to hers! Click image to view larger.

Grad Predjama

Predjama Castle, Slovenia, digital oil painting by Mary Stebbins Taitt, in artrage. This castle is build into cliffs with caves. It withstood a year-long seige because the residents were able to go
through the caves to a village in the next valley for supplies. Then the Lord was murdered in his bathroom. (I may be remembering two different stories, but if so, they were both from this same castle.)

The Memory Filter VI

The Memory Filter VI, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. I've done a series of these, but this is my favorite so far. I did this and the others in Artrage. I used paint tubes, palette brush and layering an earlier painting (a juvenalia self portrait.) Click on the image to see a larger version for more detail.
