Working on 9x12 watercolor paper with acrylics, I played with blending a few fall colors. I added some leaf stencils and a little collage (I cut up a mag picture of sand dunes - pretty cool abstract patterns, huh?). I was pleasantly surprised at how well the paper held up to the acrylics. I'm gradually getting more comfortable using them and learning what they will do. The red blobs at the bottom are my fingers - I got red paint on a couple, so just painted them all and left my fingerprints!
Another way for me to appreciate and share the glory of fall is with my photography - here are a few of my faves:

I really like this lovely collage you made using acrylic paints. Even your finger prints add to the beauty of this piece. Of course, your photos are superb. I used to live in the Ozarks and I miss all the vibrant colors as the leaves start to turn. Here in Kansas, we go from green to brown to leafless with one gust of wind. Your lovely photos made me reminisce. Thanks for the memory.

ReplyDeleteTerrie, this is fantastic! First, I love the painting, it is special and beautiful, and that cut-up dune is the cherry on top. I like the fingertips on the bottom, great idea. Second, your photography is stunning - those autumn photos are amazing. a big big LOVE!
ReplyDeleteYour collage is like a wake up, the colors are gorgeous. I like the way the paint and the sand dunes were applied in different directions, lots of movement, also the way the leaves are positioned. Your fingerprints suit this, too.
ReplyDeleteOur leaves haven't begun to turn reds and oranges yet, your photos are beautiful.
