I'm a self taught artist with a full time job in an Equine Veterinary Clinic. My last of 3 children left home last year- and I finally feel like it's my time to seriously pursue the development and sale of my art, and stop giving it away. I'm a marketing moron. Joining Scuttlebutt has been such a huge resource of inspiring creative people- many of whom are eager to share their ideas, techniques, and advice- all of which I wholeheartedly seek out and absorb like a sponge. I love having people respond to my posted pieces, and my hand is on fire for wanting to get the next idea on paper. As some of you have figured out- I'm nuts about trees. I'm intrigued with finding human features in branches, bark, and old stumps. I'm crazy about detail. The finest tip black ink pens were my friends for 20 years- and I'm trying to learn how to use color. I love seeing works that explode and are bold with it, that flow, and have light. Always I think "How did you do that!" A Scuttlebutt member suggested I buy the biggest filbert I could get and try painting something big. That hasn't happened yet, but there are more colors appearing all the time. I welcome any and all comments and advice- and I say thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to grow as an artist. You inspire me more than you know.

The piece I call Ice Age is done with a teal color wax and black. What amazes me about this art form is the fact that the wax doesnt make "mud" like other mediums. I have never gotten "ugly" colors from mixing. Some look a little strange but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and invariably there is someone who just loves the strangeness of color.

Two Moons is done with wax. I used a warm iron and gold metallic wax to get the effect.

Your work is wonderful! Very creative, I can see you really enjoy it.

Hi!

Yes, I love to layer washes in...the way color becomes illuminated after a swipe of an iridescent....magic.

I like how you say: "my hand is on fire for wanting to get the next idea on paper when I get home from work"

That is a great way to feel, indeed!

Hi again, the Cavern piece is acrylic (Interactive) and gold leaf on canvas. This one is 18x36

Thanks for the comments on Passage 45. Yep, the rock is real and so is the wire. It's crackle paste on canvas with oriental papers collaged on top with layers of thinned acrylic paint. The rock and wire was added last. The size is 8x8. These are so much fun to do, I've got a bunch of them, now I just need to get them out there.

I am getting more comfortable with it. I need to let go a
little more but I figured that will come with time. I am working on another one
now and I am going to try and not finish it so fast. Just let it stay with me
for a while and play with the different colors out there. I keep looking at the
picture and different colors keep coming out of it so I keep laying light
layers down on top of each other to try and get that color I see. Kind of fun.
I used to do a lot of pen and inks with a little splash of color to direct the
eye but this all color is harder. That wood pecker has been waking us up every
morning he is very pretty but also a pain in the butt.
