Day 7 - Art Project 2012

Still working on this mixed media canvas. I've worked on dying lace to use as tree branches... we'll see if it works as I envision.

Day 1 - Art Project 2012

Happy New Year, Everyone! 

I'm starting another year of creating some type of art every single day, This blog will document my work. I'm still working out whether I'll post every day, or once a week, but for now I'll continue in the format I used last year.. a post a day. 

For Day 1 - January 1 2012

Mixed Media Canvas - 8 inches x 8inches x 2 inches. Abstract Landscape using acrylic paints over textured base. This technique was one I learned from Tracie Lyn Huskamp in 2010, and I've added my own twists. This particular piece is being submitted tomorrow in the Allied Arts of Whatcom County Members Show, and will be on display from January 6 through January 28th.
