Two years ago I started moving
away from large acrylics on canvas (above left)
or small acrylics on my hand-made paper (above right).
I wanted to paint again, in a smaller space,
and so, thought to try watercolors
and shellac and India ink and
other inks and see where it took me.
I admit to taking a few well-chosen classes
(nothing dogmatic but teaching short-cuts)
and most of all, painting almost daily.
A lot can change if you consistently
MAKE MARKS every day!
Below, a sampling of this and that
roughly in order by the month.
Progress!
As I start a new year, I am working on my own projects, participating in less challenges unless they are in alignment with those projects! Will still post as I go!
Everything but the kitchen sink was used to make marks.

I’ve got a 100 faces challenge going this year and I’ve started with a cat. Another one planned for tomorrow. They’re a challenge, but fun! Really love yours. ❤ Happy New Year!
