Good News! Missouri National Watercolor Society Show entry accepted!
Just got my letter of acceptance from the Missouri National Watercolor Society 2012 Exhibition! This painting is of a student, who took my workshop in Thunder Bay, Canada. She was so striking, that I asked her if I could take some photos and got her permission to paint her portrait. I didn't mean to get so detailed with the facial features. Most of my paintings have more simple shapes to form the contour of the face. But I did like the results, and intend to do lots more paintings of Anne (pronounced Annie). I made my own collage papers, using deli paper and carved my own rubber stamps for the impression on the papers. This is mainly watercolor, but also has acrylic and collage. I learned how to do the collage papers from the Anne Bagby video. It is one of my all time favorite art videos. http://www.annebagby.com/
