Art Work

 I'm working on a fabric book. The page was covered with plaster and gesso...Look how
different they look in different lighting...the one on the left is the correct color
 On facebook I have been starting to show some of my watercolors that I did a few years back
Some of you who have been following me for years will probably remember them

Large Pear

 This was so much fun. its large. 18 x 24. I thought I would show you the process
 black gesso
 I decided to try my hand using my large palette knife with acrylics...new to me..
 Started laying in colors
 I wanted some of the background black to show around the edge

It only took a couple of hours (with interuptions)
Heres why I did it,
I have a wonderful boss who lets me paint these
large paintings to hang over the electrical panels
in Apartments that we are trying to rent
(I'm an apt. manager)
