Asheville Citizen Times Story

In last Sunday's edition of The Asheville Citizen-Times Newspaper, I was honored to have my work featured in the Portfolio column of the Art's Section! I believe by double clicking, you will be able to read the article. "Summer Bride" is a favorite painting of mine and It's always nice to have one's work recognized!

Sliding

15x11 watercolors

I felt in the mood to slide painting using wet paper. I dropped the colors , manipulated the paint by moving the support and liked the effect. I added some accents in colors I like.

Red Buds Remembered

 

18x24 oil on canvas

Remembering Spring and awaiting it , I painted these trees as I remembered them.

Flower Cascade

 

18x24 mixed media

This painting was begun as a wet in wet watercolor. Later I decided to punch it up a little and used liquid acrylics pours.

Caribbean Delight

15x11 collage on paper

The effect of a net was created using cheese cloth which I glued with matte medium to the support. Afterwards I added some acrylic colors. Looking closely I saw the image of a fish. Having lived by the ocean as a child, I identify with marine themes and remember seing fish of this sort.

Yellow Fields

18X24 OIL ON CANVAS

from my heart to the canvas these yellow fields remain in my heart as memories of past springs.

Underwater Fantasy

 

18x24 acrylics on watercolor paper

First, I gave the watercolor paper a wash of diluted acrylics. Then I glued a piece of cloth to the support and let it dry. I then painted the cloth and added some washes. Then I added the pieces of quilting material and glued them on to the piece of cloth. I thought it ressembled the bottom of the ocean and could see some fish swimming in the current.
