the end stretch 

a few more sessions left to go 

in my ongoing painting workshop,

online collage workshop and beginning oil painting.

i am looking forward to cooking thanksgiving dinner

for my family and friends and have put off a lot of experimenting







this is a little collage using a part of this painting i did for my son.

i wonder whether when winter will come for those of us in 

southern california.  it's been in the 80's this week.

have a lovely weekend to all

    This is a really interesting piece. I'm intrigued by what inspired it. I'm also very jealous of your southern californian weather. Here in the far north of Scotland winter has definitely arrived. Mind you we don't get high 80s even in the summer!

    The collage made from a previous work is so much fun and so unusual, with the added line drawing, thank you so much for your last reply, i found it so interesting to find out about your process in choosing faces to paint.

    So interesting to see the face twice over. Love the horned creature piece with my favourite yellow. Great success. You have obviously done some neat work on the latest course - would like to see more...

    Both collages are so original and inventive, and I always love your use of colour and line.

    Very intriguing piece of art with a half dragon half person in it. Love that you have mixed handwriting in with all the different media. Well done!

    This is really interesting work. I don't do that many collages, I think I don't have the "feel" for it. Yours, however, are something special. Good luck with the oil painting.

    I am always drawn to collage work as I cannot do it myself. Happy PPF.

    What a wonderful collage! The drawings remind me a bit of Egon Schiele. Very cool!
