Nice work, Karen...There is a painter here in Providence who did a whole series of chairs that I loved. It's amazing how what we consider inanimate objects take on life and personality through art.

Thank you for commenting on my tea cup painting. It is the first in a series and the image online is actually not quite finished. The paint needed a little refining. When I was laying out the broken cup pieces to decide on a composition for painting them as a still life over the portrait, I decided I liked the actual pieces on the image! It had more impact. I did second guess myself if I was just being lazy, but realized that it really worked and to go with it.

Have a great day-

Cheryl

Hey Karen,

My work is pressed seaweed. After a process of gathering, cleaning, placing it between two layers of netting, tons of newspapers top and bottom, then weighting everything down with stacks of heavy books, I wait about 2 weeks and see what I have!

I love your work, have looked before. Moroccan tannery is one of my favorites. Your use of color and not too much detail appeals to me.

I am experimenting with mixing acrylics with seaweed and flowers, just in beginning stages. Let's be friends, Lisabeth

Thanks for the comment. Just realized you and others have left comments beneath individual works. I like your use of color.

Love having you in my friends list. Haven't figured out how to do all this yet.
Thanks,

Thanks for your compliment.

I love the magical property you give things by your choice of palette.
