Bumpy Surface Painting

Here's where that paper collage is going now. At first it was hard to cover it up, but then inspired by Matisse to go on, here's my work in progress. The textures do add some funny areas, talk about vericose veins on this poor girl!

More Hawaii

Coco was quite busy bird watching, enjoying afternoon cocktails, lap swimming, relaxing in the pool with friends, and working on her journal pages. Always something to do!

Coco

Ok - As the computer idiot of the group, this is good practice for me. We'll see if Coco really appears on the blog site. She was so happy in Hawaii, as you can see. Met lots of new friends, went fun places, ate good food. Anyone get pictures of her at Artfest?

Bumpy canvas, meet Matisse

I took Ann Bagby at her word. She gave us 'homework'...go forth and make bumpy paper....So I made bumpy CANVAS, in the hopes that it would inspire me to paint. So far, so good. Here's the prep, then painted, and currently becoming a nude in chair, inspired by Matisse (not me, the canvas!)

My bags are packed

I have long wanted a suitcase just like this one! And there it was, in Centralia, in the store "Cheap Junk". Cheap, yes. Junk, hardly! Especially after I got it home and put all my wonderful Cavallini papers on it, as well as some lovely foreign currency. She's ready for a journey.
