Time flies when you are having fun...



Work and art and blogging seem to be almost impossible for me lately.
They last time I posted it was early fall.  Now the Holiday Season is fast approaching!
I have no idea where the time went.

But I continue to play with acrylic paint on yupo paper whenever I have free time.
The painting above is a background of acrylic paint on yupo with a plastic bag 
smushed around to create  texture.  The "ball" is acrylic paint on yupo.


On this one I did an acrylic background on yupo.  When it was dry I covered it with a 
thick watercolor wash.  I sketched the scene on the dry watercolor in white and then lifted
the watercolor off with a stiff brush and water and a toilet paper square to soak up the watercolor.
For some this seems tedious but for me it is very relaxing.  The dark frame is a separate sheet of
paper that I have done the thick watercolor wash again only a shade darker.


This is a spider web background with circle stencils , etc.




And these are backgrounds with a variety of texture awaiting inspiration.
Happy PPF to everyone and please know that even if I am not posting,
I am "lurking" and enjoying everyone's art.
