rusty metal

doesn't this have an interesting texture? i am really into it.

my blog banner

does anyone paint abstract pieces with watercolors?


i was looking at the banner at the top of this page, thinking that i would like to create something in that vein, again. the painting was done with crayola markers that are brushes with a water-based ink in them. you use them as you would a paint brush. they have a wonderful translucence. 


that led me to think about my question. as far as i can remember, which sometimes isn't very far!, i've never seen an abstract painting that was done in watercolors. on the other hand, i used to have a paul klee print that sort of had that look to it. this is why i need to take art classes--i don't know technique. i'm sure oils could be thinned to being translucent, but of course it wouldn't be the same. 


when i get paid i'm going to buy some water color paints and a couple brushes and paper!

good night, ladies. goodnight.

very first post EVAR!!!

i started writing this and tried to be very deep and mysterious and came off sounding amazingly pompous and boring! i try to show in my photos and art that i have a big streak of whimsy. that's a quality i'd like to celebrate! it's such a pleasure to get high off your imagination and trip yourself out with your own humor. crack yourself up, you know that's the funniest thing ever! most of the time we need a little help and this is one of my favorite sources of a healthy daily hysterical crack up:
