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!

Avila Beach, CA


Here is the first of several photos I will post from my recent vacation. Avila Beach is a small town south of San Luis Obispo. We love it here!
