checking back in......
Hello! we are home and I'm checking back into blogland - I've uploaded a couple of sketches I did while we were gone - I only had my watercolors and some pens and ink, but I worked several days - these two sketches were done on yupo - we had a wonderful time - lots of sun and beach and just laying about - so looking forward to getting back to work - will be checking out the neighborhood to see what you have all been up to while I was gone -
this is a little 9x12 watercolor and ink on yupo...
this also, watercolor and ink on yupo..........

Yaay!!! So glad to see you back. Wow. These two are fantastic: evocative, expressive, suggestive of layers of meaning. Yum. I'll bet you're gonna be so happy to get back to your routine.
Yeah, just wow...
Love the work you posted. Thought provoking.
Welcome back!
great work!! I really like the work on the top of your page where you have your title. the variety of textures is really unique. look forward to seeing more
Looks like fun with your sketches Jeane!
I love these. Lovely fluid marks. So, is this Yupo a textured paper?
thse 2 works are so good !!
fantastic !!
Welcome back, Jeane. I've missed your presence, but so glad you got away to enjoy beaches and laying around...very nourishing. Enjoy your return.
Hooray for Yupo! I'm giving it a try also...these sketches are wonderful in texture and shadow.
Glad you are back and especially glad you found a warm beach for R&R!
good morning Melinda - thank you and Yes!, really ready to get back to work!
hello Paula and thank you :)
thanks Pamela, it's good to be home :)
thanks Leslie :)
Hi Annie, thank you - yupo is a sheet of plastic! it takes graphite, ink and watercolor really well - oil on this surface is fun, but don't know if it will stick permanently :)
good morning Caio and thanks so much :)
hello Maggie - thanks, it was good to get away, but for me, nothing better then being home :)
Hi Mary Ann - isn't this the most interesting surface to work on?! I'm finding it truly challenging :)
Welcome back, Jeane.
Looking forward to seeing what your R&R has inspired.
Love these adventures with Yupo,,,a bit of an elusive surface for me,,,but looks like you're mastering it!
Very evocative. I like your style here.
Fun! They look like they are made of tar and cement...
good morning Babs - thanks and I don't know if I'm mastering it or not, like you say, very elusive surface :)
hello Seth - thank you so much and I like your style at all levels :)
Hi Martha - wouldn't tar and cement be the best stuff to work with!!
I've missed you .. welcome back and what an entrance!!!
Welcome back, Jeane! The paintings you did on your winter vacation are fabulous! I'm so glad you had a good break from the world.
good morning Daryl - thank you - back at work and loving it :)
we did have a wonderful Break Elizabeth, thank you - and thank you about the little paintings :)
I like your new works, they are so expressive and powerful, great!
I'm so glad you are back and refreshed from your trip. Lucky you to have had some warm weather fun. These two pieces are really interesting. I really like them both!
I'd like to know more about Yupo - what kind of paper is it? Lovely images - I'm looking forward to getting back home and being able to scan in some of my images from my rambles in Australia! I'm now in my last week here - and I met Jo who I believe you also met in New York! and other bloggers too!it was great!
Dear Jeane, you are the second person that I have seen today who has tried the yupo surface... wow. I am gald you had a happy vacation. roxanne
A belated welcome back Jeane!
That second piece really grabs my attention. Love it!
hello Mano and thank you :)
ah, Mary Ann, thank you and I'm glad to see you here xxo
hello Rosie, I've been following your travels - you've had some amazing time away - yupo isn't a paper - it's a plastic sheet that takes graphite, ink and oil pastel very well - I'm still experimenting - glad you stopped by :)
we did have a wonderful vacation Roxanne - thank you - the yupo is a very fun surface to work on :)
thanks Robyn, I'm glad you like it, so do I xxo
The faces are very haunting and even a little sad- but fascinating.
good morning Elizabeth - thank you - ya, the faces show parts of us that we usually don't let other people see :)
