Just finished another painting that is mostly watercolor.  I do have a little gold spray paint on it so I need to call it a mixed media.  It is 15 x 11 and started out as just an abstract.  From there I looked at it for a long time until I found a figure in it and tried to suggest that figure to all.  I don't want it to be too obvious, but hope you can find it if you look for a minute!  It was a lot of fun to do!

Fractured

I have been working hard trying to get some paintings framed.  I have a show starting in Sept. at Bigfork, MN.  I also need to get a few more prints and  cards ready to go!  But I want to be painting!  I had one that didn't turn out so I will not be posting it, but I finished this one last night and I think I like it.  I feel like there is nothing else that I want to do so it must be done, right?  ;-)  I really had a hard time naming it, but think that "Fractured" fits better than anything else!  Hopefully that will work.  I wonder why it is so hard for me to come up with names of paintings?  It is harder than doing the painting itself!

Veil Dancer

I finished the second one using several materials to direct your eye around the painting.  Veil Dancer is supposed to be very abstract and yet you feel the movement in it.  It is done in a cruciform design and even though I wanted it to be a horizontal painting, It just didn't work, so eventually I had to leave it in the vertical position and go from there.  This painting was a lot of fun to do because I got to use a lot of different techniques in the process and I let the painting show me what to do.  I did not know what I was going to paint until I was actually working on it.  It is a lot of fun to do paintings in this manner!
