Some more art...
These are some pieces I did last Sept. in Squam art workshops.
These top 2 are encaustic - covered in beeswax. Love it! and I would love to do more.
These bottom 3 are on canvas board - nice! and are small collages. I like the saying on the bottom one " My dream is to expand my horizons".Oh yeah.

Some art journal pages
This is the completed page from an earlier post... I like how it reminds me of early school pictures. The sun is cut out of paper and white cartoon clouds.
"Live a life of Passion" - YUP.
This one is all about my books. Can't imagine life without them. - now THAT doesn't sound geekish at all does it?! :)Keeps me sane.
I also am loving my new white pen. It is a Gelly Roll and it just glides over all that paint!
This is the next one in progress - Life is the colour you make it. - for sure. And YES, that is how we spell colour up here. :)Well, back to painting... some new things in the works!

Trash to Treasure
Well, not really trash :)
This was part of an old dresser that had come apart. A little drawer in front with a brass handle.
I stripped and cleaned all the wood and then painted a scene on it for a present for my friends.
The base drawn on there...
and all finished and sealed.
It's a wonderful walnut and the front of the drawer turned out to be burl wood which is so pretty!I see this all the time at my friends house and they love it.
Now that I think about it, this was one of 2. I should do another one for me!
