watercolors, soft pastel, oil pastel, ink & colored pencil on canson watercolor paper ~ 8" x 10"

i'm sticking everything that i do now inside


one of these old music books. i got seven of them a couple of weeks ago for $3 at a library sale. i'm mostly working on watercolor paper and sticking that to the pages in the book, which are in good shape considering the book was published in 1924. i've always made my own journals with watercolor paper, but now i want the flexibility to work on lots of different surfaces. this way pieces done on muslin, plaster cloth or watercolor paper can have a home...

gesso, watercolors, acrylic paint, oil pastel & colored pencil on grocery bag

on the bottom of a brown paper bag - there was more of it, but i either cut or tore if off. lol, when all else fails, get rid of it... i glued it to the page with tacky glue, which cathy dorris turned me on to, and i now love. it's tacky in the beginning, and then it really holds.


i'm still editing photos that i took on my way to roxanne's home two weekends ago. to get to her place from here, i drive north through the klamath basin. i've driven that road so many times, but i never tire of it. the pic above was taken on the way up - there are a lot of old agricultural storage buildings along the road...


there was some sun the next day coming home. this is 'the mound' - when it comes into view i always get a big smile on my face!


this is on tumblr, but i love it.... taken near the spot where i snapped the one above. the light in that valley can just be extraordinary...

if the clear weather holds, i'm going out of town tomorrow for thanksgiving. i wish you all a happy day! thank you for your love and support here... i'm very grateful for it...
