"Our Lady of the Trees"

Mixed Media

1" x 2"

This was created for Bee Shay. She gave out 100 dog tags at Art Fest2006 asking recipiants to do something with them. I think they will be display at Art Fest2007, at least photos of them. I was not able to go this year, but recommend the retreat to anyone who likes to make art.

"Colette III"

Monoprint Plate

5" x 10"

This is the plate used to create "Colette I and II"

Alas, it does not exist anymore as I needed to clean the plate! But there is more where that came from.

"Colette II and I"

Monoprints

5"x 9"

Colette II is the print made after spritzing the plate with water after pulling ColetteI. Monoprinting is a lot of fun, but it takes a lot of prints to make one good one. I didn't have much time to experiment as I was running late, but I like the soft quality of the skin and nose created by the water on ColetteII. The blog doesn't show it off well. I suggest monoprinting for anyone who is interested in learning about the subtleties of brush and color . These were done with water soluable printing inks on a acrylic plate.The paper I like the best is Japanese calligraphy paper. Low cost experimentation.

"Bethany"

Watercolor

4" x 5"

This has been an incredably busy week. I've not had time to sit down and scan the images I have made. Now that I have done so, I see things I need to do to the images. Here is one I like though. She has a life to her, quiet and penetrating.

"Chet, Temple of Healing"

Collograph and Collage

6" x 8"

I just learned that a very dear friend of mine was in a serious accident, so I created this piece to promote her healing. Chet is the eighth lettter of the Hebrew alphabet and is considered the letter of vibrant health and vitality. Although it doesn't show well on the bolg, the letter is at the sixth chakra or the third eye. The dragonfly represents light, the light of All That Is.

"Laughing Lady"

Print on fabric

I live the very glamorous life of an artist. My wordrobe consists of jeans and sweatshirts, all of which have been embellished with paint spatters. I thought I would jazz up a few things with some faces and fabric. Looks like I need to embellish the back of this jacket a bit.

"Chicken Scratch Book"

Acrylic and Collage

I used to paint pictures of chickens a lot. They are such interesting creatures to watch.
