i felt like i hit the jackpot when i found a sonia delunay book 

on sale at anthropologie.  i love her use of color and design but 

was unfamiliar with her figures.  i used a small section of one of her

paintings for this teabag painting.







i am experimenting with figure drawing this week.  

simple lines are deceptively difficult.  










i have paper ephemerah flowing from drawers,

shelves, closets.  a friend suggested i use them to collage in large books.

he said don't think about it.  just work intuitively.  here are a few 

pages.  i worked fast, intuitively and had a lot of fun!  also he said

that i can cut portions of the pages if i want to use them in a painting.

good idea!










it's been hot, hot, hot this week.  in the 90's.

but the sunsets have been spectacular and the 

evenings delicious.




thank you for visiting today.

have a lovely weekend!

  3. Good find on the book. I am so impressed with your tea bag art. So much detail in such a small area. I love your figures and the collage. I can see you cutting some up and using it else where. Hotttt!!! I had to turn my heater on this morning. I am freezing. LOL

  5. I love the feeling of both your free line figures and intuitive ephemera collages. I feel I do well with these types of drawings, but for some reason I don't like my intuitive collages. Blessings!

  6. I do not think I could work intuitively and I do not quite know what it means but yours are really nice.

  12. You perfectly capture the atmosphere on that small tea-canvas. I like your figure-drawings. Deceptively difficult ... very true!
