My mixed media and scrapbook room.  All the goodies that inspire me!!

I was trying to make a girl in a rose here.  I don't particularly like it because it is too bordered out.  I don't like the edges of the flower and the clean edges around her face.  I may make changes to it, but for now it is sitting.  I would love suggestions.

This is a picture I did in a class online with Jeanne Oliver.  I love the vintage feel.  The girl was much easier for me to do because the face was small. LOL  I used some Websters natural paper line to do much of the decorating around the side.  This is a first for me to have pencil as an accent on a canvas.  I had always considered it as something you don't want to show, but I love how the artists use it.

This is my Halloween picture inspired by Christy Tomlinson.  It has about every medium possible on  it.  I have changed it since this picture and I used shiva oilstiicks in black to calm the background down..  I will try to find a pic or take one  and post it.

This is a painting that I did in How to paint an owl class with Juilette Crane.  It resembles her work very much, I thank her for the class.  The picture was very hard for me to do and I need to paint many more before I begin to feel comfortable.

I was very fortunate in April 2013 to get to travel to California to take a class with Christy Tomlinson!  She is an amazing woman.  I have taken many of her online classes and she is even more wonderful in person.  I am posting the two pictures on canvas that I made at her workshop.  She was really nice and helped everyone with there pieces.  It took place at studio Cresendo.
