HAIKU
TREE EQUALITY
All trees are equal
Each has its own quality
Making it stand out

High above the crowd
None better than the other
In its perfection

Delighting my sight
Purifying my breathed air
Always providing.

I painted ''ABSTRACT FOREST FIRE'' with one color, Burnt Sienna, using ACRYLIC INK.
The other colors and shades are from the Elegant Writer pen.
I also used a brush, canned air and my fingers. ....on Yupo paper

Out of the darkness
Of the winter dreariness,
Comes a Sunflower.

I painted this today using Acrylic Ink, The Elegant Writer Pen and other mediums including Copic Markers, Neocolors, water and plain alcohol...on Yupo paper.

ACRYLIC INK 20 MINUTE QUICKIE SKETCH MAGNOLIA
My friend Jean on the Oregon Coast reminded me that these are in bloom on the West Coast now...Magnolia Soulangeana is what I believe they are but there are many varieties that look similar. It will be weeks before they bloom in Michigan...maybe months...since we are NOW in another ARCTIC BLAST OF WEATHER!
I thought I would try a 20 minute quickie sketch and this is in ACRYLIC INK AND ELEGANT WRITER PEN ON YUPO PAPER.

INKY ARTICHOKE

INKY ARTICHOKE
I call this INKY ARTICHOKE because of all the INKS I used.
Basically, I started with a simple outline with the Elegant Writer Pen, which I knew would mostly wipe out when I applied the ALCOHOL INK, but I wanted a little bit of a guideline...then I used a ballpoint, more Elegant Writer Pen, and COPIC MARKERS.
I love ARTICHOKES...Painted, Steamed, Baked, Boiled, Stuffed, Fried, Marinated....you name it I'll like them.

TREES IN COLOR PAINTING

It has snowed most of the night & is still coming down with giant Lake effect Snowflakes making it exceedingly beautiful...which means another few days of being inside...but we are supposed to get almost to 40 degrees by the end of the week....if I can ever believe a weather forecaster again!!! I think I might be getting a bit stir crazy!

I painted this mainly with ALCOHOL INK but also used Copic Markers and The Elegant Writer Pen....with a spatter of Acrylic.

PARROT TULIP Painting
This is an experiment again...Using 3 colors of Liquitex Acrylic Ink on Yupo paper..9X12 sheet...and the Elegant Marker pen...plus black Acrylic paint for the center...Learned a lot on this one...about what to do and what NOT to do...:) Yupo is quite an interesting paper...:) Also noting that my scanner doesn't pick up the true red/pink & yellow shades very well...it is much better in person...:) ♥

SNOWY MOUNTAIN

It's a good day for Doodling...
I did this with Alcohol Inks and various Ink Pens on Yupo paper. It reminds me a little of Mount Shasta in California....a mountain I love...but it was just from imagination, so is not accurate.
Then I got tired of it and didn't feel like finishing it properly, but am posting it anyway...sometimes I just do that....
