Dear Blog Friends

Some of you may think that I have abandoned my blogging! Trust me, I know I haven't posted anything in a long time. It is not intentional. I have been reading posts faithfully. More Importantly, I try to sketch and paint something every day. Life keeps interrupting and keeping me busy. I love my aart and I love all of your beautiful work.

I now have a new scanner that I'm getting comfortable using. So soon, I'll post some of my efforts - promise!

Tide Pool

This is so exciting. I finished this collage painting, finally,

today.

It is to be a wedding gift for one of my former students

who was married a couple of weeks ago.

I really tried several different designs

before this one came to me.

It's a combination of several

ideas that I had.

It seemed to work the best for the shells

that I had painted.

Her Mom told me that they both love

anything to do with the ocean.

So I figured that a tide pool of shells

with a few additions

would work.

I'm going to try a dark colored mat for it

and a simple frame.

Ill take a picture of the completed

composition in a day or two.
