I'm so excited about this work in progress right now! I know the newspaper colors will look different when it dries and becomes more opaque, so I'll probably need to do some glazing on top to add depth and shadow... But right now I love it! #workinprogress #carafosterkarim #paintingwithpaper #newspaper #papercollage #landscape #cityscape #bridge #river #blue #buildbridgesnotwalls #webuiltthiscity #immigrantswelcome #somervilleart #somervilleartist #somervilleopenstudios #bostonart #bostonma

This lovely commission is finally finished and on its way to a new home! #carafosterkarim #commission #oilpainting #landscape #flowers #artistoninstagram #somervilleartist

Multitasking! These little canvases are so small I can fit 2 on my easel at once! #workinprogress #newspapercollage #paintingwithpaper #newspaperart #buildbridgesnotwalls #bridge #water #bricks #falling #tumblingdown #warmandcool #artistoninstagram #Somervilleartist #somervilleopenstudios #boston #carafosterkarim

My first session on a new project. Sometimes I love the rough underpainting, the beginning stage where I'm just kind of throwing things at the canvas and blocking out light and dark areas. Sometimes I like it even more than the finished painting. But I can't call a painting done with only 30 minutes working on it...can i?? Doesn't feel done. My quest is to figure out how to keep the energy and depth and translucency and integrity of a rough beginning while still developing it into something more complex and whole (and that uses newspaper). Ok, all done with my morning ramble. #carafosterkarim #workinprogress #mixedmedia #papercollageart #landscape #somervilleartist #bridge #cityscape #buildbridgesnotwalls

"Falling." "Things fall apart"? Too cliche? Work in progress... title also in progress! #carafosterkarim #workinprogress #newspapercollage #newspaperart #bricks #collage #mixedmedia #burntsienna #multilingualart #multilingual #bengali #portuguese #italian #chinese #immigrantsgetthejobdone #squareart #somervillemass #Somervilleart #bostonart #bostonma #somervilleartist #bostonartist

I'm calling this little newspaper collage landscape "Sunshine City" because of the bright warm color palette, which is really different from most of the paintings in this series! It makes me feel warm and sunny just looking at it. This one is just 10 inches by 10 inches. It's for sale now and will be up on my website shortly. #sunshine #city #carafosterkarim #newspaper #newspapercollage #newspaperart #mixedmedia #cityscape #landscape #sky #urbanplanning #somervillemass #somervilleart #somervilleartist #bostonma #bostonart
