I had the day off and I experimented with some new techniques in acrylics. I like using lots of layers of washes and paints. It is hard for me to stray away from darker colors, I guess reds, greens, and golds are my "comfort zone", but I am working on it! ha ha The top painting depicts what some of us think about when we are at work all day--hee hee. The bottom painting is loosely based on an old photo of my mom and her twin. The photo was from about 1940. Both of these paintings are available on Ebay now~ It is easy to find my stuff by typing "folk art cris" in the Ebay search bar.

More Altered Art

I have been having fun with using laser prints of old photos, transferring them onto painted, collaged canvas with gel medium and then touching them up with paints and inks. A crackled, antiqued finish completes the vintage look. I just listed these on Ebay.

New Paintings

Here are two more new paintings! The first one, "Perfect Paw", is a kitty washing her paw to perfection. The second one, "Momma Love", is a universal theme--but kitty wants in on the act! These will be available on Ebay tonight. The link to my Ebay is at the top of this page.

You sure don't need a heating pad in St. Louis. The temperature has been 100+ for a week and is expected to continue without a drop of rain in sight! Ugh! Everything outside is dying~I can't afford to keep it watered enough. This painting, "Heating Pad" is on Ebay now. Keep cool everyone!
