A Sibling Exchange.

By chrissierouse

Antonymous Synonymity, 2012, Charcoal and Conte on Paper, 22″x30″

Isn’t it funny how siblings can be so alike – and yet, so very different at the same time?  Above, my latest work, and first completed piece of 2012, features my brother Michael.  Below, a painting by Michael, given to me this past Christmas, features my little sister, Casey, and me. I absolutely love the priceless expressions, the similarities and differences, the contrasts and family-oriented creativity. Both pieces currently hang on my bedroom wall.

Painting By Michael Rouse (Mixed Media on Canvas)

POTD, Week Ending June 26th: Interpretations.

By chrissierouse

Interpretations

Crashing waves, but a starless sky
A world escaped 
Still burning in those big eyes
Memories flash
As the relics wash away
Breaking free
Mistakes, fear, a clouded pain
Years, silenced
Walls towering high
And in a moment of lifelessness
It all seems to run astray
Dim, then dark
A pause, then a thought
Maybe now, she’s ready.to.start.living.again.

Night’s Meadow, 2011, Mixed Media on Unprimed Linen, 13″ x 17″


 

Night’s Meadow is the first in a new series of paintings and mixed media works, entitled Interpretations ~ A study of existing imagery, re-interpreted with a brush, pen, or piece of charcoal, based on a newly juxtaposed set of literature for each work.
