The Heirloom Artisan Market 2016

I'm late in sharing this, but this is where I was on Saturday!

Prepping

Art show in June!!! 

There's so much I need to figure out - tent, tables, display,

and of course the art!!

Here's a small peek into what I'll be showing.

It's tea time a lot in my paintings these days :)

I'm finding the whole process so magical - 

combining watercolors with collage and acrylics on canvas

is way too fun! Looking forward to making more of these!

Sneak preview!

Messy painting is always fun. Just draw a shape and start filling it in with watercolors. I like to overlap paint when...

Warming Up For The Orchid Show

Working in watercolor feels so good!

The show is in early November and I haven't yest decided if I'll make my five pieces in watercolor and frame them, or do acrylics on stretched canvas that I don't have to bother framing.   The thing is, I've always painted my orchids in watercolor - I think they just shine with the delicate translucency that medium offers.   But I think I'll do one in acrylics next see how it turns out.  Afterall, it's great to try new things, and who knows, I may be able to do a mix of both types!

New work on Yupo

Watercolor, acrylic and ink on Yupo paper, embellished with shiny metal sparkles. My very first use of Yupo.
