My last post was weeks and weeks ago! Unforgivable!
I have been busy in spite of a pinched nerve in my back and inflammation of the sciatic nerve....I am slowly getting better.
Here are some of my latest paintings...small ones, since my back was not cooperating:-)

| Beautiful Giraffe -SOLD |
"Beautiful Giraffe " is on a 5" x 7" Ampersand Aquabord that I am starting to really like. I have been
working quite a bit with gold leaf and, as for "The Zebra" below, I decided that it would be perfect
for the background: the gold translates the heat of the burning African
sun.
I then sealed the gold leaf and varnished the entire painting
and added a resin-like finish. This finish adds depth to the painting
and its shine makes it look almost like a ceramic tile. Really
interesting!
I am very pleased with this piece....I hope you will be too.

| The Zebra - SOLD |
I found the perfect little frame for The Zebra. It sold the first day it was posted,on DailyPaintworks.
Below are two acrylic paintings with negative painting à la Linda Kemp with whom I took my 5th or 6th workshop in July. She is great!
The paintings of birds nests are on 8" x 8" Ampersand Claybord.I have not yet had a chance to look for frames for them. With their one and only egg each, the paintings are called "Precious I" and Precious II. I would like to make a series of these and intend to try much larger sizes...The intricate interweave of twigs in the nests really fascinate me...perhaps because I was a hand weaver many, many years ago:-)
I hope your summer has been great so far! Thank you for stopping by!
