9×12 in. mixed media. American flags by Jasper Johns are so iconic in modern art and I felt like doing something in that light, but different. Look close enough and you can see actual cornsilk in the piece, thought the name was just a bit of humor only…huh! Love the colors in this and besides using the cornsilk i had, i finally found a good use of my polka-dotted tissue paper. Mixed media artists can be such hoarders, for stuff they think they might need in the future…worked for me this time.

I was thinking of trying to smoke corn silk as a kid. You have done much better with it. An artist I am not, colors I love, will be back to visit. Thanks for stopping by.
That’s amusing, I remember stories my mother told me about doing that same thing behind the barn when she was a kid…gotta find a propose for that corn silk…lol

Exciting colours… nice! My favourite things to add to my ideabook pages (not paintings just yet..) are sand and cedar…of course!
Fascinating stuff here, will return to study more deeply.
Some wonderful images.
Thanks for like and follow.
Thank you for liking my blog, Ken. It has brought me to your blog. I love your work. I am a beginner painter, who has always enjoyed working with colour, texture and design in the abstract.
this site (wordpress) is so amazing bringing people together from all over the world to share, inspire, and express ideas…if my site helps others to appreciate or create I feel i have done something worth while…thank you.
Shoot, went through the whole enchilada here. I really like your work. I’m a wanna be/begining art student (at age 56, lol). Very nice!
big thanks for viewing my whole gallery…as to starting up in art, it truly is never to too late…we all have something worth expressing
Great balance! Really enjoy the colors you picked too, they work very well together.
Thank you…at times i feel like limiting the color pallet, but there is so many beautiful colors…why not include a bunch…oh well 😉
Very powerful.
This is wonderful, whimsical and solid in theme and colour and texture, focus! Are you talking about strings of cornsilk? I am unable to see them. How did you adhere them? Perhaps under the tissue…
I pretty much have them over 85% of the surface. Cornsilk separated into single strands (the corn was pretty good eating also 😉 . ..as to adhering them, acrylic gel medium does a good job…other areas tissue paper covers them, but they were already adhered….thanks for the kudos
