POINSETTIA...MIXED MEDIA

This is VERY MIXED MEDIA! I had a LOT of fun....I used everything but the kitchen sink I think...as I recall I started with Watercolor & The Elegant Writer Pen...and then went to some Acrylic Ink and Neocolors...:)

I enjoyed doing this quick little painting, because it was somewhat experimental.
I used NO watercolor.
This was done withe the ELEGANT WRITER PEN & NEOCOLOR WATERSOLUBLE WAX PASTELS MADE BY CARAN D' ACHE.

SUNFLOWER GAMES

I am calling this SUNFLOWER GAMES... because I played so many games with it...using all sorts of techniques...and it looks nothing like it did at the start.
I began with spattering paint, spraying, and all sorts of things...with no idea of what it might turn out to be....no pre drawing...just playing around....then I began to ''see'' flowers...then sunflowers...:)
This is watercolor and Inks...and that Elegant Writer Pen again...:)

LIGHT SNOW IN THE FOREST

I painted this one today in Watercolor & Inks and also using the ELEGANT WRITER PEN.
We had one day of light snow flurries...but that didn't last...no real snow yet...but I know I can't prevent it....it's beautiful to look at but I really am not wild about living in it...being a California girl all my life...:)
