Empty Spools - Sue Benner "Abstraction" Class (cont'd) 03-13-17

Here are more pictures I took in Sue Benner's class at Empty Spools at Asilomar.  There will be one more set tomorrow night.

 

Suzanne Gaensbauer used this picture of apples in a crate for her inspiration.

This shows the original and a paper collage made with pieces ripped from magazines.

Here are six abstractions from the original inspiration. 

This is Suzanne's first project with the picture that Sue gave her on the right and her abstraction on the left.

 

 

 

LaDonna DeCamillo abstracted these from her inspiration image from home.

 

 

 

Carroll Hirsch received the picture at top center from Sue and created the abstraction at top right.  Her other abstractions are from her inspiration photo at middle right. 

 

 

Mea Lee  worked from the magazine picture at top left to create the abstract on the bottom.  She started her smaller work with the very faint picture at top right which is a cabin in Tahoe.

She created these three abstractions of the cabin, each more abstract.

 

 

 

Margie Bushaw worked from her inspiration photo at top left.  On the bottom right is one she called "Abstraction Playtime", made from scraps.

At top left is the picture she received from Sue and the abstraction at bottom right.

 

 

Jean Impey worked from the picture at left to create this great abstraction on the right.

 

 

Here is Jean's board with the inspiration photos at left and the abstractions on the right.

A little closer up on two of Jean's pieces.

 

 


 

Nancy Bourns' board - on the left side are the abstraction from Sue's photo with the actual photo below it.  Next to her name is the inspiration photo she brought from home and then the six smaller pieces she created from fabric. 

Here are two larger abstracts that Nancy Bourns brought from home to share.

Final pictures from Sue Benner class 04-18-16

Cyndy Rymer's Cranberry Bog - I am repeating this  because I failed to show the original image before..

Here is the original image and Cyndy's fabric sketch.

Nancy Bourns work.  The original image is at top right, and below it is the sketch with quadrant lines for keeping track of where the pieces go on the large project.

Noreen Nance's coastal scene - I didn't take a picture of her original image.

Sue Baker has the foreground and background done in her autumn tree scene.

And here is Sue's original image showing how she will lay in the autumn trees.

Bonnie Tomsheck is working on this scene looking from the red rock cliffs into the valley below. Her original image is at top left.

Melissa Parsons did this fabulous view of meadow and mountains.

Here is Melissa's original image. 

 

Kim Juran's great image of a rowboat - I don't have a picture of the original image.

The boat was done separately on release paper and transferred to the background.
