Creative Inspiration

While cleaning up my IPad photo folder I came across this image of a piece that I had created a while ago. Looking at it again reminded me of the enjoyment that I experienced while coercing my supplies to become a proper composition using paper, glue and paint. It was created with cut magazine pieces combined with watercolors. The fine watercolor details of the painted birds juxtaposed against the abstract greens of paper and watercolor vegetation have inspired me to create another work in this same style. I hope that it will be suitable enough to share. Stay tuned........

Designing Denim

It seems as though denim jackets are back in vogue. My girlfriend happened to have an OLD one ( shoulder pads still inserted) hanging in the back of  her closet. I asked her if she would like me to customize it for her. Her answer was "OF COURSE" combined with a "YES PLEASE!"
 I rooted around my box of acrylic paints and found colors that reminded me of her.  The finished product is seen above. Remember---"Everything old is new again"

Key West Rooster

A visit to Key West will include a feathery surprise. There are roosters and chickens strutting everywhere. The history of these feathery occupants is interesting -but, to me, not as attention grabbing as the colorful subjects themselves.
