Harvest Fair Entry for 2008

This is my entry for this year's Harvest Fair Art Show. It is a mixed media piece entitled, "Grapes Aglow." There are some hot foil accents as well as some foil under the painted grapes. I also used cheesecloth, Cran D'Ache, and acrylic paints. The painting is 16" x 16". I WON A 4TH PLACE RIBBON FOR THIS PIECE!

Full Moon Over Avila Beach

We enjoyed watching the full moon for several nights while in Avila Beach. The light upon the waves was beautiful!

Avila Beach, CA
