Just thought I would share some of what I have been up to, in my friends art studio in Tunisia. I had a complete break yesterday Touring the atlas mountains in a private 4x4 with agneskia, our guide. Who is the partner of kristov, my new artist friend. But these are some panels I have been working on, which I am hopefully combining into a larger canvas.

New 6x6 mixed media on cradled wood canvas. Have been using Derwent Inktense pencils to deepen color on my backgrounds. I have had them for years, and, essentially did not like them. Glad I kept them around now. My first show is April 4th, Saturday before Easter Sunday. I prefer to do Spring in non-conventional colors, and lesser known, deeper quotes. Love seeing everyone's work!!

This was another I finished off this morning. I was experimenting with forests and Deer. Initially I wasn't that happy with this one, but I put it aside, instead of painting over it. Made a few small touches to it this morning, and I'm now actually quite pleased with it. It has a green effect to it, denoting a forest in the distant background.

Finaly finished, and siluettes added last night. What are the mermaids thinking or dreaming, looking at the swirling water spout?

Six days down and 94 to go! Just having some fun on Day 6 with mixed media art journaling around a theme of the impact of simple joys on the quality of our lives. Day 6 of the 100 day Project. I love to hear the birds chipping as the sun rises, and it truly is a wild and wonderful thing.
