The Promise of Spring

"The immortality of flowers must enrich our own"
- Emily Dickinson




It''s been almost a year since I started experimenting seriously with mixed media techniques and blogging about my work. This is one of the first series I did, using a variety of image transfer, collage and painting techniques. I have been frantically working on another project this week for an upcoming event this weekend, so I decided to show this set today for Paint Party Friday. Today, I'm so excited to be going to the special Gauguin exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. Thanks for stopping by!

    These are amazing. I love using the music as it sets a lyrical tone for your flowers. Beautiful

    Your mixed medi works are great. Image transfer is fun stuff to experiment with. I loved the Gauguin exhibit was really nice. i loved seeing those paintings up close.
