Several months ago I borrowed an idea from another archives and started a Find of the Month. The August find was Maude Gibson's paintings. Maude was an art professor at Eastern from 1910 to about 1941 and painted almost her entire life. She died in 1964 at the age of 93 and the painting to the left is dated 1962.The small paintings were scanned and uploaded to Flickr, but in the process of resizing them I got screen shots of small closeups of the paintings showing the layers of color and brush strokes. These small clips were so cool that I copied several of them from her paintings and uploaded them as well.
Here are some of my favorites. To see the entire collection click on the Flickr link above. If you want to have fun, try to match up the abstract clips with the original painting.
