Music, Art and Tierra of my Dreams

"Tierra of My Dreams"
One foot in each culture definitely keeps me on my toes, forcing me to evaluate my life, my cultural biases and priorities. Though I am not always comfortable with the tension this creates, I am thankful for the rich diversity of my life and the creativity it sparks.....

"Still Life in the Studio" a classic watercolor on cotton
Russ, do you recognize the rocks???

"Calm Lake" acrylic inks on canvas "Summer Breeze" another acrylic ink

This is the beginning of "Five for Silver" an acrylic ink on clayboard, and a part of the crow series.
A few little fun things.... 4 X 4 acrylic on crackle paste...."Windy Day"
"Stars"............
and " Jungle Boogie"
"When Bluebirds Knock, You Better Answer" Acrylic woth texture.....
a close up of one of the bluebirds.....
This piece was in the Music in Me Show at the Tannery. I began by masking out part of the painting....
Then I started with an acrylic ink wash................
Then I added texture and detail. This is called "Feel" in tribute to the Michelle Tumes Song.
This was an acrylic ink on canvas. " Stain Glass Trees"
and finally the finished product from the last blog,inspired by the song Breathe Me by Sia, called "Breathe Me Out"
