"Branchin Out" by Terry Honstead
This 11 x 14 mixed media painting was done using doilies, spray paint, lace, and lastly negative painting with acrylic paint. I wanted to give the impression of a tree without actually painting the whole tree. I wanted the patterns in the doily and lace to become branches as well as where I used negative painting. I was happy with how this turned out. If you would like to see more of my work or purchase a print, you can find it at terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com or email me at honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"Under the Bridge" by Terry Honstead
This 17 x 11 Mixed Media on board was done in layers. I used the same shape as I used for a previous painting, but the background is totally different, giving this painting a whole different feel.

"Summer Greenery" by Terry Honstead
This 16 x 20 is done with mixed media on a cradle board. I have been trying to get a feeling with just a small range of colors. Each one is done a little differently. It can be viewed at terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com or email me at honstead@paulbunyan.net

"Two As One" by Terry Honstead
This 24 x 18 in painting is on cradle board. I experimented with my liquid acrylics to make the background and then decided to use torn paper collage for the figures. I had at first painted them, but was just not happy with the results, so I tried the collage and now it seems as it should be! If anyone is interested in seeing the previous version or purchasing a print, you can find it at: terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com or email me at: honstead@paulbunyan.net

Stone Sculpture
This is not my usual art work but since I took a stone carving class this past week, I thought I should post pics of what I did. These two sculptures are made from soapstone and were lots of fun to do. The Mother and Child still needs some sanding, but is close to being finished. I hope to do more in the future.
