Life's a Journey



Another collage made on Photoshop. This woman just looked like she was ready for an adventure on the road less travelled. The graphics are from www.cottagearts.com. They have great graphics at reasonable prices.

Proof is Here!

Cindy received the proof for our book today! Just needs a couple of edits and then we will be selling it. So exciting! Who knew my art journey would take me down this road??

Enjoying a Lovely Summer Day




Foggy until around noon today. Living only about 30-40 minutes from the coast gives us some foggy mornings. But this afternoon is beautiful, not hot or cold- just right! I took a few photos in my garden. Too cool to read in the hammock today, though! The hammock hangs between two tall redwood trees in one of my yard's corners.

We are doing a color series in Arttechniquesatcs. This month's color is RED. Here are the four ATCs I made for the swap.

More Photoshop Experiments




I took a few photos in my garden today and played around with a couple of the photos that I took. The rose is a 4th of July Rose, and the purple is a Clematis.

Color Principles Workshop

Using exercises learned when I took a Color class at our local JC by Lisa Beerntsen, I am conducting a two-month Color Principles Workshop for Arttechniques and The Artists Circle yahoo art groups. I found the class I took to be so very beneficial. Hope the participants feel the same when they are done!
