Wrapped in Yellow Feelings



15x11 mixed media

Another experiment. Started out with collage and thought I would do this painting using mostly watercolors. Wetted some areas and left others dry. Putaccent colors mostly in watercolors and a little fluid acrylics. Then used florist ribbon to make the dots.

  2. Thank YOU for finding me, Sylvia! Sometimes it takes me awhile to click on the linked names in the DSfDF challenge blog. I was scrolling through this first page and am captivated by finding what I can see in your collage work. This latest has some people in it, to my jaundiced eyes! LOL The previous painting is so fabulous, bold and powerful strokes and colors. I also enjoyed both of your portraits, one of Rosemary and one of Karin. Your sister's work is wonderful too. What a talented family you have!!

  5. This painting just draws one in. The colors are eye catching and bright but very pleasing. Normally I am not an abstract person, but you paint ones that really speak to me. Outstanding.
