Lighthouse in Maine

Watercolor on Yupo 14.5 x 20.5inches

I started this in Maine.  It was interesting with an orange sky and blue and orange rocks.  Somehow, Bob got a thumbprint in the sky, close to the lighthouse.  Fortunately, yupo paper is plastic so I was able to life out the entire sky.  Then I changed the coloring of the rocks, I changed the color of the rocks, adding foliage and steps.  This is the final result.  I sprayed it so I cannot make any modifications.

Nonnas of Montefalco

This is a painting done by adding Citrasolv to National Geographic pages, waiting twenty minutes and voila, the pages are transformed into beautiful pattern.  I then found these ladies amongst the patterns and painted around them with acrylic paint, added some torn paper and called it a day.  They remind me of the ladies in the old Italian Villages.

Hats for Sale

The reference photo for this painting was taken along the walk to the source of the Sorgue River in Provence, France. There was a display of hats for sale along the path. .  Our teacher, and dear friend, Janice Beck,  spied this scene and shared it with me.  I decided to make it into a store window, and that has had several reincarnations during the process.  YUPO paper can be very forgiving, because you can wipe off the parts you do not like, but it can be frustrating because the paint does not absorb into the paper and, vulnerably, sits on the surface until it dries.

This is a 12 x 12" wooden box assemblage with many found objects from my recent excursions to the thrift,

that is cast by the hinge, lock and key.
