Photo coming soon. Watch for the "Traveling Trunk" project in the latest issue of the Decorative Painter. A collaboration of artists working separately to create a lovely garden theme on a small wood trunk. Bob Pennycook, Margot Clark, Patty Vicki Rhodes, and myself, painted a side, then sent it on to the next artist...the only criteria was that the garden theme was continued and harmonious colors were used through-out.
My latest book, "My Favorite Things" is HERE!!! It is full of projects and painted worksheets. Some of "My Favorite Things" are bird nests, books, cobalt bottles, country roads, roses, grassy fields of sheep....all painted with new FolkArt paint "High Definition" or "HD" acrylics. These projects can be painted with your regular acrylics, BUT painting with HD paint can add so much interest to your paintings...easy to do...follow my techniques and create added texture and dimension; more depth, more attention to the focal point.
