"Battlement"

This is a mixed media postcard. Just messing around.

Although I tend not to be into hearts or to do much artwork that is overtly erotic, I decided to join a swap at iATCs where we had to create heart-shaped cards and then do something with them using  certain color schemes. I cut out my shapes from watercolor paper, and then just slathered the cards with watercolor paint in my chosen color theme. Then, I sat back and tried to see what forms suggested themselves to me in the arrangement of the paint. For some reason, perhaps it was the colors, I started seeing body shapes. One thing led to another and here we are. I guess it is sort of appropriate for Valentines Day. So, i guess if you have a honey, give him or her a big smooch. Oh, and each of these hearts is 4 by 2 inches in size.

This is just a playing around, mixed-media- found-images-collaged postcard. 

The Thief

This piece is 5.75 x 6 inches and was done with water-based markers, colored pencils and ink on Bristol paper. Meet Mot, the thief.

"Speechless"

Just a random ATC...

"Dreamboat"

This is a mixed media collage that is 5 inches by 5 inches in size. I may use it for the "Dreamscape" swap at iATCs.  On the Asha front, it is very, very cold here these days, but that doesn't keep Asha from wanting to take her walks in the snow. Brrrrrr....

"Stratum" mixed media collage (4" x 6")

Still more detritus art.

"Gem and Inch"

I was cleaning my studio and, as always happens when I do this, bits and pieces started to find their way towards one another. I ended up doing what I call my "detritus collage." This is a combination of a prefab fold out card, pieces of index and greeting cards, a gemstone embellishment and a hand drawn inchie. 

"I'm Your Pet"

Another oddball piece, this one is 5 by 7 inches and was done with a mix of water-based markers, colored pencils and ink on Bristol paper.

"Blind Flight"

This is a larger piece (8" x 10") done in water-based markers, colored pencils and ink on Bristol paper.  I did my preliminary sketch a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to finishing it off.  I put my back out shoveling my car out of the snow last Friday, so working on artwork is one of the few tasks I seem to be able to manage.
