VALLEY OF TREES ABSTRACT IN ALCOHOL INK

Valley of trees abstract in alcohol ink

My second try at it... The colors are so brilliant, neither the scanner or my camera will show it in full color...This is best I could do with either of them.

MY FIRST ALCOHOL INK EXPERIMENT

I finally have finished my first ALCOHOL INK EXPERIMENT.....I do not have the proper paper(Yupo) or tiles yet...(You need a slick surface)....but I thought a cottage cheese carton lid might work (the inside) for experimenting....and so I gave it a whirl. Quite interesting what can be done with this stuff... I only have 3 colors so far...I think I could get hooked on this!

FALLING LEAVES IN MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Now I am Happy! I went back and used the scanner instead of the camera and this is just like the painting now!
This was done in Acrylic Inks and The Elegant Writer Pen...on Gesso on paper.

DRIVING IN THE LOCAL AREA

DRIVING IN THE LOCAL AREA, a photo by Louise001 on Flickr.

Yesterday the family and I took a drive around our local area which has delightful curvy roads and quaint little townships, parks, several covered bridges and rivers, and lots of trees...We were checking for color...but the trees have not reached their maximum color potential yet...maybe in a week or so....

EVENING LIGHT OUT MY STUDIO WINDOW 10-17-13 6:30 PM
It has been rainy & misty all day but the sky turned darker blue suddenly and the sun tried to come out....which created a magnificent light....I jumped for the camera but it had already dissipated slightly...and also this photo does not quite do it justice....♥

COLEUS IN THE GARDEN ..OCTOBER 2013

COLEUS IN THE GARDEN ..OCTOBER 2013







Older

I rooted some Coleus from my indoor plant and stuck them in this pot in the garden in late Spring...I am amazed at this Fluorescent color, and it is even more intense in person, believe it or not.....the parent plant in the house is tinged with green...and beautiful too but this is a Knockout in the garden....Next year I hope to plant a Chartreuse one with it. In California I could grow them year round in the garden...that was in North San Diego county...the best weather in the US....IMO. The second photo is the unedited color of the parent plant in the house....
