About this Product
This lovely piece was created with pan pastels and rusty bits on 140 lb paper, cold waxed and then attached to a small canvas frame for easy hanging. It's 9x6.5 inches total. I've enjoyed romping with found pieces of rusted metal and the floating, soft feel of pastels. Interesting companions indeed! Artist: Kayle Rice.

Meet the Maker
Kayle Rice:
I was never very creative as I was growing up and as an adult I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler. Imagine my surprise when "artist" popped up as #1 on a career aptitude test! The guanlet was thrown! Over the years I've played with many mediums and being a slap-dash kind of gal, collage has become a favorite. I love using pan pastels, stencils, collage papers and my top favorite: "rusty bits", found pieces of rust. I try to complete each piece with a line from the Buddhist Metta Prayer of Loving Kindness. It's important to me that each piece I create has the spiritual imbued into it.
May you be at peace.
Kim Nunneley:
There is a place my mind goes when "creating". The messy words quiet, yet I continue to express something sometime too difficult to verbally share. One morning, music may whisk me along a brayer-rolled Gelli Plate, while on another day, I painstakingly do fine detailed inkwork to the sound of the lake washing up against the dam near my home. My favorite media is always the next one, my favorite art, the discovery of misty edges emerging and coming into being, laughing. I stand in witness to the loves of my life--horses, flowers, trees, mandalas, wild colors and formal line--all at play in endless combinations. Is this not prayer? Is this not grace?
Blessings, abundant and fresh, to you.
How it’s Made
I begin with torn 140 lb paper, add layers of pastel and other media, apply cold wax and finish with found rusted pieces that are evocative for me. Then, the work is attached to a small canvas frame for easy hanging. I find a wonderful intersection between art and the great Mystery and some how pastels and rust make for interesting play.
