Box Cover

White acrylic ink on wooden cigar box.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

I had always wanted to make one of these mixed media collage art boxes
and I finally sat down and made one this week.
It was great working with volume & depth,
it reminded me of the fun I had creating 3-D conceptual projects while studying architecture in Chile for a couple of years way back in the late 80s.
A shout out to my classmates at the Universidad de Valparaiso!
*if they're reading this blog ;)

Two Birds

My internet connection died last Friday and resuscitated an hour ago!
Which means I had a wonderful web-free weekend :)
I had time to paint these two birdies on a branch with purple leaves
and finally finish the birdie on the concrete wall.
Watercolor & ink on Twinrocker handmade paper.

Autumn On My Mind

Remember this pencil sketch I did a couple of weeks while ago?
Well I finally watercolored it with a dark blackish indigo last night.
Autumn is just so inspiring to me!

Wings

The birdie on the wall is almost finished, I painted the wings a couple of days ago
and I'm waiting for it to dry completely before adding all the white details.
My finger is completely healed, the mud worked like a charm. Manolo was right :)
