Thursday, March 19, 2009. The Human Form - an unending challenge. I have taken several workshops from a wonderful French instructor by the name of Jacques Clement of Montreal.

Carole Segal's Artful Blog: Inspired by Negative Space
http://carolesegalsartblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/inspired-by-negative-space.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Inspired by Negative Space. I was fortunate to attend five separate workshops with Robert Burridge. Notable Wow" artist from California, which were held in Colchester, Vermont, the week of July 29 to August 02, 2008. Accommodations and workshops were sponsored by The Holbein Company and held at the Hampton Inn. Still and all, you needed to design your bouquet according to good basic design principles. Not a boring class to say the least. Paint meaningful and believe in yourself.

http://carolesegalsartblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/wit-and-whimsy.html
Thursday, March 12, 2009. This posting is about my explorations and experimentations in Mixed Media collage. I felt the compulsion to create the layers,. I used the Zen approach "Heart versus Head" to create these mini collage paintings. They are created from the unconscious in a meditative way. . I somehow drifted to the Zen and Orient for inspiration. There are six small collages in the collection and are named aptly. LOVE your new collages, Carole! They are so "you." I enjoyed seeing what you are ...

http://carolesegalsartblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/very-fine-art-of-assemblage.html
Thursday, January 6, 2011. The Very Fine Art of Assemblage. The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.
