Polka-dot Mountain Top 16X12

This piece was almost entirely experimental.  It's done with fountain pen inks and white india ink on wood.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of the blue inks, when mixed with another precipitated copper and created a really interesting metallic effect.  And, when the white was painted over it, it would reveal the colors underneath the copper.  I love how this piece turned out.

Boulder Creek 10X12

 Lichen 13X10

These two pieces were an experiment with layering with acrylic paint and gel medium on gessoed wood. I wanted to achieve really interesting texture and color combinations as well as depth. I like how "Boulder Creek" became quite abstract and I love how the texture turned out.
