I have been busy today making Corn Husk Dolls for an upcoming Craft Show. The dolls can be placed at each table setting as a decoration & gift for Thanksgiving. A yogurt cup or short glass is used underneath to keep them upright. They also look great on a wreath or with cuttings from the garden tucked under the skirt and hung on the door as a swag.
I baked Holiday Breads for the Craft & Art Show at the SD Safari Park this week... from left to right - Cranberry Orange, Chocolate-Chocolate Chip, and Banana Walnut. They were all delicious and I just about sold out!
A little bit of this and a little bit of that! In this watercolor painting I used a wet into wet process on top of gesso in the background. Also, a little alcohol, salt, and negative painting. You can see a faint hint of stenciling to finish it. I had hoped the colors would be richer but the pastel effect created by the gesso gave it a "flamboyant" feel.
I have been busy creating collages from objects found in thift & vintage stores. I try to included a piece of my art in each piece. Still looking for a slingshot to put in Red Wagon's pocket!

I finished this painting yesterday. It is a watercolor pour with transparent painting on top. I used a stencil to add an opaque element and make it more 3 dimensional. I again used a 3 color palette but changed my method by pouring first and then drawing the subject. This gave me more freedom picking and choosing the areas of the painting I wanted to emphasize.
