I am pushing patterns here, laying down some color, and then overlaying with fabric and rice paper. It’s a totally flat piece albeit colorful. I think I need to let the background recede more. It was too much fun layering, so I got carried away and time and materials took over. Along the top, mostly on the right, I am covering up mistakes. This is not a keeper— simply an exercise on its way to who knows what? #fabriccollage #africanfabric #africanpattern #ilovecolor #abstractcollage #abstractart #mixedmedia #playingwithpaint #playingwithcolors #colorfulart #scissorsandglue #collageartist #womenshistorymonth #womensart #womeninthearts #womenartists #njartist #njart #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/CqNqXDMsZZh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Color studies using gouache. I like the paint and color, however it will take a lot of practice for consistency and haphazard control, if that’s possible with this medium. Will also be using oil sticks and graphite under and over. #gouachepainting #abstractart #abstractfigurative #contemporaryart #colorfulart #colourfulart #ilovecolor #workonpaper #womensart #womenwhopaint #womenpainters #matisse #njartist #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFmnt6rPMh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Crooked Crocks. Working on something resembling a still life. Flattened the color and black marks. Painted paper added. #flasheacrylic #abstractstilllife #mixedmediacollage #contemporarywallart #contempoaryabstraction #mixedmediaart #colorfulart #studioart #womensart #womeninthearts #womenpainters #womenwhopaint #morriscountyartists #njart #njartists #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8XKIfs5mW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I do love vessels, however I am at a loss on how to abstract them in my own way. This is an attempt on used palette paper at the top and drawing on the bottom. #vessels #potterypainting #containers #abstractart #stilllife #colorfulart #paperart #paintingwithpaper #makingmarks #kitchenart #artonpaper #acrylicpainting #womensart #womenartists #womenwhopaint #femmeartiste #morriscountyartists #njart #njartist #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1-0X0O5lN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Luna (revisited). One of those pieces I’m unsure about. Like the colors and overall shapes and simplified the original. I never intended this to be figurative, however exploration takes over. I may yet modify.

79 Mt. Pleasant. A mixed media ode to a stately old Victorian home in Gloucester, MA.. I had the pleasure of visiting close friends who lived in the upper story. From her high perch, we could see Gloucester’s inner harbor, and watch fireworks on Labor Day. I love old historic homes with their walled back-stories. I took artistic liberties with the representation, however, it’s a close resemblance. #mixedmedia on gesso board: 11 x 14” The background is a sanded stilllife painting. As an old landscape designer, I am proud of the landscape design along the front foundation! #victorianarchitecture #collageart #collagepainting #mixedmediacollage #fabriccollage #abstractrealism #victorianhouse #gloucester #pattern #africanfabric #whimsicalart #scissorsandglue #drawingwithscissors #cutandpastecollage #womencreatives #womensart #womenartists #womeninthearts #morriscountyartists #njartist #njarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CodmlnhMsdn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking down from the fifth floor of The Whitney Museum of American Art. Pedestrians walking on the street imposed over the reflection of my shoes. A NYC scene that E. Hopper may have approached. #photooftheday #photoart #instaphoto #nofilter #streetphotography #urbanphotography #nyc #pedestrians #meatpackingdistrict #whitneymuseum #reflection #womensart #womeninthearts #njartist #njart #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/CoR5-Y_ug3u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Screamer 😱 Trying to let it out as a creative exercise. So saddened by the murders/loss of life and subsequent grief and pain that we all share. This is just a temporary piece. #sad #thescream #sassyscraps #mixedmediacollageart #mixedmediaportrait #anger #abstractportrait #abstractrealism #paintedpaperart #collageart #fabriccollage #mixedmediaart #africanpattern #africanfabric #spicycolor #edvardmunch #morriscountyartists #womensart #womeninthearts #njartist #njart #andrearosegrillo https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFPZ8_LKm0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
