I recently (4 years ago) took a painting class at Walla Walla Community College because I needed an art credit as a requirement for my AA degree. I always kinda liked drawing but was never very good at it. I sometimes "cartooned" and doodled but not much more than that. What I learned at the college was that I really enjoyed painting! So, I have taken a few short classes in water color and find that painting is a great hobby to take on the road. Watercolors are quite compact and paper and paints don't take up much room...so I guess I will post my paintings and other art work on the blog!
This little painting is a watercolor, about 7 x 10" and I think I will send it to Nancy, another RVer and jewelry maker who repaired a pair of earrings for me.
Here is a crazy mixed media painting that I created for my niece, Ali's graduation. It has cutouts from magazines as you may notice. Her swim suit is actually a pair of sunglasses and bath oil beads. Her hands and mouth are from a model in the magazine. It was a lot of fun to put this together and I think it has a tongue in cheek flair. She also looks remarkably like Karen Black, no offence to her, or her spelling.
