New 6x6 mixed media on cradled wood canvas. Have been using Derwent Inktense pencils to deepen color on my backgrounds. I have had them for years, and, essentially did not like them. Glad I kept them around now. My first show is April 4th, Saturday before Easter Sunday. I prefer to do Spring in non-conventional colors, and lesser known, deeper quotes. Love seeing everyone's work!!

This was another I finished off this morning. I was experimenting with forests and Deer. Initially I wasn't that happy with this one, but I put it aside, instead of painting over it. Made a few small touches to it this morning, and I'm now actually quite pleased with it. It has a green effect to it, denoting a forest in the distant background.

Finaly finished, and siluettes added last night. What are the mermaids thinking or dreaming, looking at the swirling water spout?

Six days down and 94 to go! Just having some fun on Day 6 with mixed media art journaling around a theme of the impact of simple joys on the quality of our lives. Day 6 of the 100 day Project. I love to hear the birds chipping as the sun rises, and it truly is a wild and wonderful thing.

I started my weekend piece yesterday, and, am just finishing. Seems like the older I get, the longer it takes to fit all the pieces together, and, sometimes more than one attempt. This is an 8x8 3D mixed media assemblage on a cradled wood canvas. The woods have always been my refuge. Where I go to re-center, shut out the noise of life, and, listen to the wisdom of Mother Nature.
