Blackbird on the Front Page — Cait Sherwood

Hi.

I'm Cait Sherwood, a mixed-media painter who works into art journals.

I make art from the trash of the art I made before.

Jun 7 Blackbird on the Front Page

Caitlin Sherwood

A page from my shared art journal with Amy Maricle.

All my projects tend to blend together. Xeroxed blackbird from a project for a friends pop-up pie shop (!!!).

The quilt image is from a quilt book I got at a thrift shop. The quilt book has been feeding me for a while.

Added it to the #wallof100paintings

Very big one. 5x5 feet? Painted over an old painting I had hanging in my living room. My favorite part is the light spots, but those are just from the sun. Better add those in. Very helpful for working large: Marabu art crayons.

My little angel of a sweet hearted little pug. Tonight she passed away. She meant a lot to me, she was my tiny little companion. She would snuggle with me on the couch. She made everybody laugh and feel a lot of joy bc of her very long tongue and constant snorting. She was tough. She was afraid of the smoke alarm and fireworks. She would eat anything, including all vegetables. She snored sweetly, a perfect warm little loaf of bread. She was from Tumwater, Washington. She did not like the rain. She was my baby and I am so sad to say goodbye to her. Rest peacefully Roxy, Sugarbag, Uglianna, Miss Madam, Snarla, Lil Pug, Honey Pug, my velvet piglet.

One of the 18372 sketchbooks I am currently using is this altered book 🌟

I’m rough on a book

Using some stick-on pearls in the spirit of using things up. I have so many different sketchbooks going right now... this is the small one.

When will I ever run out of art trash to glue into my books? Found this drawing of my parents’ house with Louis, the cardinal who rammed into the windows for three years. Glued it in, covered w/ clear gesso, painted and collages on to0 of that.
