i painted a series of faces using backgrounds that

i painted with a solid acrylic color

this week i attended a friends collage class.

the theme was landscapes.

this is the view i see on my daily walks.

i have painted it, drawn it, sketched it 

but have not been satisfied with the outcome

i did like the results of the collage.

another view along the same walk.

and the collage.  

a friend sent this to me on her trip along the 

 california coast to big sur.  i have been along this 

spectacular drive many times so could almost feel

the curves in the road, the roaring ocean, the craggy 

rocks. 

the collage.

another big sur photo.

i almost felt like i was along for the ride!

i visited the uncommon threads exhibit at 

the fowler gallery at ucla.  here are a few 

pieces for your enjoyment.  

thank you for your visit! 

i enjoy your comments and feedback on my weekly posts.

today i am linking to paint party friday where an inspiring 

group of fellow artists post their weekly work.

do you have any weekend plans?

i plan to attend several at events and will share next week.
