Description

I am working on expanding the bird forms into something more than a bird but still keeping it recognizable.

Yes it does! I have learned to let people give their own meanings to the artwork even if it does not correspond with my intent.

Hm, yes I have had to learn that too, especially with my abstract art. Hah, there are as many possibilities as there are individuals, and then some!

I am fond of collage and mixed media collage-like work. It is fun and challenging and that keeps me going to want to make more.
Thank you!

I just adore how you incorporate newspaper cuttings with your work; it's something I haven't done in so long! Your method of integration is so smooth, gives the piece so much dynamism!

Thank you very much! Collage-like techniques will probably their way into my work for a looong time.

Very interesting! It definitely still looks like a bird, but I like the addition of the other elements.

Thank you so much! I recently added a new yellow to my acrylic palette, Indian yellow. I used this yellow in my watercolor works but for some reason I forgot about it when I was focussing on acrylics. I am glad I found it again. It is such a rich color.

Gorgeous Indian Yellow, I'm glad you found it too! Love it when that happens. I'm addicted to burnt sienna at the moment, just love it
