Step'n Out

I am still working on new collages so that I will have some new work to take to my workshops.
This boot was fun to do.  It is 12x12 stretched canvas that is 2" wide.
I painted the flowers with acrylic, and the rest is magazine pages.
I love the cowboy/cowgirl boots!  I still want a pair with flowers on them.
The workshops coming up are March 8-10 in Midland, TX
and here at my studio April 29-30.

All Green

 

This is from a photo I took somewhere between here and Dallas, TX.  I sketched it first using my Platinum Carbon pen, then using watercolor painted it.  It is on watercolor paper.

New Collage

I am trying to get ready to teach a collage class and need some new work, so here is a new boot.
In the past, the boots have been popular and I enjoy doing them.
I haven't given it a name yet! Right now...'Cowboy Boot'.
It is 6x12.

Take a Seat

I was searching my blog for a painting and I can't find it, so evidently I forgot to post a new watercolor.  I painted this back in September.

This was done with watercolor but I drew it with water soluble ink.  It is Tobacco Brown, and I love it.  It sort of melts when it gets wet.
This is one of my favorite subjects.

Tennessee Collage

I have 8 days of sketching! I have challenged myself to sketch each day for a year! I hope I can follw through. Here are some of the first 8 days of January! I have done some experimenting with just using lines, and I like it!

First Painting of the Year

I have been doing some sketches from our trip to Tennessee, which are on my sketch blog
Suzy Pal Sketches I did a barn
and a friend saw it on face book and wanted one like it so I got it done today.  I used the same technique using brown water soluble ink. I love this ink.  It is by DeAtrementis and is called Tobacco. It just melts into the paper. I really like it! Give the sketches a different look.
This was done on hot press paper which i don't normally use.
