Tulips

This was a wet into wet technique.  It was fun but I do think I can do better.  Might make a nice greeting card.


Time to Fly

Just finished this mixed media canvas.  The words above the two birds mean "Time to Fly".  Not sure what language is is, maybe French?

Watercolor pictures

Midge and I got together on Saturday and worked on watercolors.  It took me a few days to finish these pictures.  I tend to procrastinate when I'm doing something new.  These were projects in a beginning watercolor book I bought.  I'm happy with the results.

Mixed Media Canvas's

I have been busy working on some canvas's to sell at Jubilee's art sale in October.  It is really hard to decide when your project is finished.  I usually leave them in a place where I can look at them at odd times and see if I like them.  Sometimes I see something and fix it and like it better after.  I'm having fun.

Travel Journal for Mystery Tour

The Mystery Tour was alot of fun.  Each day we would get our itinerary after the bus started rolling and then we would know what we would be doing for just that day. These are photos of some of my journal pages.

Watercolor

I painted these pictures at the  Samish Watercolor retreat.  I have been working on them since returning home and finally decided they were finished. 


I decided to add the gauzy material to this photo because I didn't know how to paint the net over the fish pond.
 
 
 It's a bowl.
 
 

I did add some collage and pen work to this watercolor.



This picture is from a photo I took in Santa Fe.

 
Painted this from a photo taken in the Caribbean.

October Craft Fair

I decided that I would make some items to sell at the craft fair this year.  This week I have been working on inventory. 

The following 2 photos are some paper mache boxes I decorated, using embossing powders, beads and charms.



Note pads of different sizes and styles.
