24.01.2022 A different direction today, playing with magazine prints
23.01.2022 "MANTA RAYS" Gelli print collage. Lesson for the day; don't use parchment paper for collage peices, the paint slides tight off when you touch it.

20.01.2022 Art journal page using Dina Wakely tissue face, scrapfx stamps, stencils, acrylic paints, correction pen, pit pen.

07.01.2022 I attended a painting class with Wine and Design Honolulu last week and have began a new relationship with paint and canvas. I've only ever used canvas for mixed media so it was a new direction for me and I'm hooked. I thought I'd try to recreate the project and I'm happy with the results.
