New Series

I worked on a new series of 7"x5" mixed media paintings this week.

 I started off with bright Golden Golden Qor watercolours, and made large abstract paintings on watercolour paper.I added details with gel pens, ink, and markers.

I then cut these in 7"x5" pieces, and glued them with gel medium to wooden boards. When dry, I coated them with encaustic medium, and glued a hanger on the back.

Happy!

I was thrilled, when I heard from the Federation of Canadian Artists, that my 48"x48" acrylic painting "Light in Forest" sold in the Active Members Exhibition this week. It's difficult to see all the texture in the photo. It was one of my favourites, and I'm learning to let my babies leave the nest. 

This was the second painting of mine they sold. 

In November, at the Ten Squared Exhibition, they sold my "Spring Flowers" encaustic painting.

It is such a good feeling to be validated as an artist, that people I don't know like what I painted.
