This painting is square 12x12 and it is done in acrylics on watercolor paper.It is just a sort of exercise using the square format which lends itself better to abstract.
This 16x20 is one of my alltime favorites. It is done on paper using the wet into wet method. After the washes settled down and many days later, I finished the painting by pouring a bit of white ink and letting the paint flow.
I used cardboard painted with gold acrylics. The cardboard was glued to the support and the support had already been painted with acrylics and watercolors. This is part of a tryptich. The individual paintings are 8x10
Well, here I am with my painting at the recent exhibit in Black Mtn. I truly love that painting. Am afraid I made a goof and misnamed the media. I should have entered the watermedia category, but labeled it mixed media. I suppose I still don't have the art jargon quite straight. Or maybe they don't. To me, mixing media means using what was used here, watercolors, acrylics and some ink. It apparently means something else to others which is when you collage stuff and use the three medias. Live and learn(if ever).
This is a picture that was in the Mountaineer Newspaper of three women who participated in a recent juried show.My two friends got awards and I got juried in too which was good . The bottom picture is yours truly and I was just sort of kidding around. I should say the top painting is mine.I had another one juried in and will blog it. It is hard not to get a blob of light in the picture, but I guess we all know what it is like. The reception was a lot of fun and there were a lot of good paintings.
