A NEW DAY

Watercolor - 11x14

Purchase Info

We are having warmer weather and looking forward to summer. I have always loved any time spent on the water whether it is at the beach or a lake. We are lucky to have retired on a beautiful lake in Tennessee and enjoy any time we are out on the water - boating, water skiing, kayaking, swimming or jet skiing. And if family is here to enjoy it with us that is golden!

Watercolor - 11x14

Purchase Info

I love teaching watercolor and have been doing it for over 25 years now. I love to share my knowledge, experience and ideas. I love helping students recognize their own abilities and potential and showing them that they can be an artist, too. I love being in the classroom with other artists and being inspired by their creative talent and vision. And I especially love at the end of the day when they leave happy with a smile on their face, a little further down the road of their own creative journey.

GRACEFUL SIMPLICITY is a mixed media collage using an eclectic mix of papers, images and stitching mounted on an 8x10x1/2 inch canvas. Images were carefully selected to create a unique piece of art invoking a feeling of the graceful simplicity of nature. Random stitching was added to the collage along with an old button and the final piece was mounted on fabric and a gallery wrapped canvas that was covered in hand painted tissue paper. The final piece is ready to display by hanging on a wall, propped on a shelf or on placed on a small easel.

FRESH OUTLOOK

Mixed Media Collage - 10x10x1/2 in

Purchase Info

For FRESH OUTLOOK I began by randomly applying collage papers to a square canvas. Then I added some paint hee and there and then glued on the photos fo the barn, windmill and red bird.

More paint to blend edges, some stamping, more collage papers and then I added a wax seal like they used in days gone past to mail their letters. Too much fun!
