Collage papers

I love to do collage cards. I find it very relaxing. I try to use my own paintings and paper for most of the work. I have all sorts of painting scraps and I also make my own design (above) I took an excercise from Mary Todd Beam's "Celebrate Your Creative Self" I just scribbled crayola crayons and kitchen wax on a large paper, covered it with black gesso and then scraped off portions and added gold or copper paint. Originally I tried to make paintings out of them, but ended up using the paper mainly for collage.

Curtain Photos

I just discovered that pictures I take on my Iphone come out pretty well. Before I had great collection of ceilings. Here are two I liked a lot. Maybe I can turn them into paintings.

Sketches for Wet Canvas

Here are two sketches I did for Wet Canvas Photo paint-a-long. They are having some trouble over there...so I'm posting them here for the time being:
