"5 Ways to Spring"

That's the title of a painting I just finished yesterday. I loved our time away, but I'm loving working again even more. I've painted everyday since being home and the photo below shows my fav of the three I've completed.


This is mixed media on paper with copal wax 24x19 - titled 'fractured' - that's a bit how I feel transitioning back into life here - so much to catch up on! below are two details of the other two paintings I have done - you can go to my flickr site to see the finished pieces.

this is a detail of '14 days' - 19x24 mixed media on paper


and this is '5 Ways to Spring' - mixed media on paper 24x19

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and MAKE ART!

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...
