Back in March, I started a new art journal, with the plan to continue it during my trip to Europe with my husband, Chuck. Well, I completed a few pages in the lounge of the ship during "down time", but didn't quite finish the pages until yesterday. It turned out to be a Very Eclectic Journal, with some watercolors florals, some leaf prints on fabric, and several abstract collages. Here are pics of a few pages. 8x8 on 140lb watercolor paper.
A few of my recent little watercolors. These are small, 5x7 on 140 lb watercolor paper. They are given a thin coat of Dorland's Wax medium to seal them, and then buffed to a light satin finish. I usually paint some of these when I travel to visit friends. These 2 in particular, I painted at my friend Joanna's house in March, while visiting her to keep her company after her husband passed unexpectedly.
I have other watercolors like these at the Boerner Botanical Gardens Gift Shop. They are usually mounted on reclaimed cedar boards, which are sealed, and wired for hanging.
