A few weeks ago I did the painting on the left.And then one afternoon I decided to do my version of "urban petroglyphs"
There are so many layers of paint on this I am
surprised they didn't crack.
We rented studio space at the Art Center and got to play with spider web and water color.
I have no idea what this will become yet but I really like the colors.
And this is a little play after completing a very intense course on using dark colors.
Wishing everyone a Happy PPF
It is going to be 80 degrees today so I have a bit of spring fever. After the cold
my orchid blooms are few and far between but there is one...or I should say, two.

Love the alteration and the new work, especially the second piece in pink, blue and yellow - really pretty. It's very cold here, and there's more snow on its way, but my indoor orchids are doing well. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
Great work. Love the colours you used and I think the alteration works well.
Wow! Great ideas,texture and colors!!!
Happy PPF 🎨
fab layers of colors on that first painting and i am loving the spiderweb design! That sign would have me worried about walking that area...
happy PPF!
Wonderful papers. Love colors and texture.
Happy PPF xx
Yikes indeed - on the alligators! Be careful. I don't know how big Harley is but alligators move pretty fast. Your art is beautiful. I love the colors on all of them and especially on the spidery one.
Love the petroglyph cover up! It's so cool and interesting. And the pink and blue one below too. That's fabulous looking with all of the lines. 80 degrees! Wow! We barely get that in the summer, LOL.
I love these Susan! In the first painting it looks as if a big head is watching the urban petroglyphs (what can I say, I always see heads everywhere ...) That second one is gorgeous. I wonder how you did that. I even googled spiderweb and watercolors, but didn't get anything resembling yours. Did you just scratch in the paint? It's really beautiful ...
All your paintings are GREAT! Fantastic colors and textures. I love what you did with the Urban Petroglyph! Your two orchids are beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing. I would imagine Harley and your Hubby will not tempt fate with the gators. They do scare me! Great post Susan! Hugz, Rasz
Beautiful work and always love your orchids.
Beautiful abstract with many layers of paint and cool addition on the right!
Your spider web playing in watercolor looks fantastic! And the dark color page too!
Happy PPF!
This is done on yupo (plastic paper) taped down to a cardboard piece. I use acrylic fiber sold at Halloween to make spider webs and pull it very finely across the paper and held in place with pins. Then I wet the paper and the webbing and spray liquid water color on it. Let it dry a day and pull the webbing off. It is a messy project but I love the results.
Love the painting and the added petroglyphs ~ lovely creation!
Happy Weekend to you,

These are fantastic. I love the spider webbing and read your reply about how you created it. I would love to see a step by step on your blog for this. Wonderful effect. Your are is always so interesting and fresh.
Your paintings are wonderful. I LOVE the texture and movement you put into them. Your artwork makes my eyes happy.
Love.
What amazing layered art! There's such a richness to it. Beautiful orchids too.
