Todd and I visited our oldest daughter Laura and her husband Eric last month and as usual had a wonderful time with them. We spent a day touring and tasting wine in beautiful North Carolina and stopped for a picnic lunch at Elkin Creek Winery. Gorgeous fall countryside, delicious wine and great family time!

Invited Back To Breckenridge Watercolor Collage WorkshNew DPW AuctionCreative Corner!
Watercolor, Rice paper and Stamping
The goal for my new 2014 Creative Corner has been to try something new each month - different techniques, new mediums, mixed media, fun colors - anything goes. For CALLA LILY MUSIC I began painting wet on wet for the background, flowers and leaves and used negative painting for further definition. I had a rubber stamp with musical notes so I used watercolor paint to stamp the image on very thin rice paper which I then collaged in random areas of the painting for added fun.

I painted several coats of white acrylic gesso on 140 lb watercolor paper which provides a slick surface for the watercolor paint, allowing all sorts of fun drips, blossoms and texture.
