Summer is ending and I have more time for other creative projects now :)
This is a mixed media work I did last weekend.
Was worried about my sister and her husband and their long battle ahead with his cancer....feeling a little blue.... looking for something bright and cheerful. Never have seen these color combinations in Nature but a little bit of alcohol in the system gives you a more daring sense of adventure in color :)
I used watercolors, inks and colored pencils on watercolor paper. It's 11" X 14" and looks great matted.
This is the first time I'll be joining
"Paint Party Friday
It is not always about imitating nature. Sometimes it is just the right color.
