Mixed Mini with a daisy stamp

Here is the 4 x 4 in. collage made with acrylic paints, daisy stamp, ribbon, paper bits, napkin decoupage, and metal brad for embellishment on canvas surface.  I taught this project as a quick make & take for a support group of cancer patients.   They could add their own creative touches to it by using different papers, ribbons, and other bits of ephemera.
I was grateful to provide a couple hours of art therapy for those who came that day.

"A little Christmas Painting Fun"

Just some fun from my Christmas collection for you to enjoy.

A fun collection of Santas I love to display. 

Some that I have created.

 Snowman design from Jamie Mills Price

Snowy Friends by me!

Here is a sweet painting called "Baby Swan." (Actually they are called cignets.)  Perfect for this Spring season.  Don't you think?

Acrylic on 11 X 14" canvas.

Here is a painting I did a few years back. It looks like a cool night in Autumn in the country.  Just really not that way though here.  Still hot in September in Vegas.  Ugh!  I sure am hoping some cooler days come soon.  

Collage and Mixed Media

Green Tea Joy contains paper ephemera, acrylic paint, stamping and stenciling.

Creating faces can be challenging.  We have certain ideas about just how one should look.  The eyes show the most emotion and personality for me.  Sometimes I don't even know what they are going to convey until I am almost finished with them.  

 Working with a limited color palette, I drew this girl, wondering about her day and where it will lead. Her day has only begun. I think the sky outside her window is just beginning to light up.

Young woman in purple veil is ready to discover the new day.  Wonder what her story will be.  Watercolor crayons and pens.

On a Little Walk

  My imagination went on a little walk and this is what it saw.
  
    A couple of little mixed media collages from my studio.

      These were made on canvas board, with acrylic paints, magazine bits, metal charms, and game pieces. A bit of graphite for a shadow here and there and a ribbon for hanging.

So many things can interrupt us from following our muse as artists. Here's hoping I have found my way back.
