watercolor on cold press paper
I only have a few more of these little paintings left before the book is full. I was tired of painting on cardstock though, so I did this one on watercolor paper.

Detail
I have one pear left to do, plus the title page and, if I feel inclined, the cover. Now that the project is nearly over, I guess it’s about time that I got a blue/yellow one that I like. And in eeevil watercolor, no less!

And More Art Excavations
I still can’t find the painting I’ve been looking for. I know it’s here somewhere, but lord only knows where I’ve put it. I found some more old work, though. I also spent most of the day tweaking style sheets and researching and writing copy for the new website. I think my brain is ready to implodiate. I started with one of my altered books, thinking that that would give me a nice, finite test project. What I didn’t anticipate is how much better my scanning and correcting skills have gotten. Unfortunately, that means I’m going to have to re-do most of my older scans. It’ll be more work, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Inside Pandora’s Box VI

These were all done for a watercolor class. As you can see, I’ve wasn’t very good at it and my watercolor handling skills haven’t improved with time.
Palm Tree
embossed 140 lb cold press watercolor paper
13 x 7 inches
I did the embossing in high school. It was done with simple braided yarn, but I’ve always loved the way it turned out.
Nude I (AKA Mount Breast)

There are some anatomical weirdnesses in this drawing.

These are three steps in the collage process. I started with one of the uglier paintings, figuring I could hardly make things worse. I added a bit of metallic gold ink, which didn’t do a whole lot to help matters. The hand print was a step in the right direction, though. I like the way the metallic gold ink shows through the black ink of the hand print even though the black ink is on top. (And, for once, the metallic quality of the gold ink is actually showing up.) With the addition of a piece of mirror and some tiny chicken rib bones the piece is, I think, complete.
