Warming Up

Had a good day of painting today . . . always love painting a figure.

Portfolio

Spent the day with my dear friend Beverly today in her studio - we do this frequently and call them "studio days".  We always do something creative/artsy.  Today, we worked on a "portfolio" (by Tim Holtz). When you purchase the portfolio, it is made out of brown heavy stock paper.  The fun part is to make it something of your own.

So . . .here is my front cover, back cover and inside:

Flamenco Girl

Nothing like a fun painting day to eliminate stress from work last week!

Neon Man

A little study I did of a man I saw at the beach recently . . .

In the Dark

I was feeling rusty . . . so, started out with a quick study.  Felt good.

Red Hat Girl

Spent the last week up in the Bay Area visiting a dear friend.  We were on the go most of time but we did find time to paint one day.

Altered Playing Cards

Another mixed media project I am working on is "altered playing cards".  I took a deck of cards (I chose flash cards as they are a bit larger than regular playing cards) - so, 52 cards, 52 weeks of the year.  Each week I am embellishing a card - with stencil, drawing, writing, painting - whatever I am inspired to do at that particular moment.  Mine seems to be turning out to be a mini-diary. Hopefully, looking back at the deck, I will remember some special moments of 2015.
