Snow Birds

"Flight" 6x6 Paper collage
$125 

Passages is this month's Girls Just Wanna Paint topic. 
Since it is only a week before we "snowbirds" will be departing for Naples, Florida, a birds in flight theme seems like a good metaphor.
I used some craft paper for the background and then drew and cut out birds shapes from tissue paper to create a little paper collage on watercolor paper. It takes quite a long time for me to figure out the balance in the cutting and pasting, but I like the feeling of this one.

Looking Up

"A little piece of Heaven"

8x8 oil on panel

I am always looking up in Florida. 

We have beautiful cumulous clouds and two story 

coconut Palms. Squadrons of Pelicans fly over the white sand beaches here on the Gulf of Mexico and all is well.

Drive By #9 Yellow Truck

"Drive By #9 Yellow Truck"

6x6 oil on gesso board 

I took an extra day to recover from the big drive, but here's the first make up in my 30 Paintings in 30 Days painting challenge organized by Leslie Saeta. This cool overpass is at the beginning of a decent into the Newark, New Jersey area. The yellow truck was the big score in this photo from a previous trip. This time it was foggy.
