The Whole Picture No. 4

Every year on the long, tree-lined pathway to Walthamstow Town Square in East London the trees will grow pieces of art to be picked!
Art Grows on Trees is one of Waltham Forest Arts Club's projects for the E17 Art Trail 2014.

My work for the project: this will be the fourth year I have continued this idea.
The Whole Picture No. 4
A painting project by Julie Caves
I created a 22x30in acrylic painting on paper and cut it into 30 pieces and marked on the back to show its place. They each make a nice artwork that can be framed.  Plus there is the possibility that sometime in the future all 30 recipients will get together and the pieces of the painting will be reunited and they can see the whole picture.

I am installing 10 of the 30 on each of the three Saturday mornings of the project - May 31, June 7 & 14.

Art Grows on Trees 2012

Part of the E17 Art Trail 2012, Waltham Forest Arts Club's annual event Art Grows on Trees takes place in the town square in Walthamstow. Passers-by are invited to take home some free art.

The Whole Picture No.3

The Whole Picture No.3 is an acrylic painting cut into 25 pieces. Each piece has been given an identifying code as to its place in the picture. Each piece is an individual painting, but it is also part of a greater whole. The pieces will each be “picked” during Art Grows on Trees, part of the E17 Art Trail 2012. Perhaps one day they will be re-united and the recipients can see the whole picture.

Art Grows on Trees

Every year on the long pathway to the Town Square the trees will grow pieces of art to be picked!
Art Grows on Trees is one of the Waltham Forest Arts Club's projects for the E17 Art Trail.

I have made two series of small works on paper for this event.
The Whole Picture 2.
I created a 22x30in acrylic painting on paper and cut it into 28 pieces. They each make a nice artwork that can be framed or posted on the wall. Plus there is the possibility that sometime in the future all 28 recipients will get together and the pieces of the painting will be reunited and they can see the whole picture.


Blue Birds mini prints.
After taking a class with Stephen Fowler at Falkiner's I carved a set of 3 stamps in the shapes of pigeons which I have been drawing a lot lately.
I then drew on the stamps with ink pencils and printed them onto paper and added some painted details.


Now I just need to package them up for hanging in the trees during the E17 Art Trail!
