Click here for Jose Feliciano, Light my fire.
then click back on this blog tab or here to listen as you browse, or not?









As a quick demo in a recent Mixed Media class, I used ...




the inside of this old book cover ...




 coated it with grey gesso before drawing the sisters.
Then adding collage quickly, spontaneously with gel medium.
Using scraps of paper as paint strokes.




I think I could add more, but decided to go with it as it is ... 
an unfinished look to match the technique?

quick sister B

The quick sisters was fun to do.



 
Putting them in to PS filter gallery, 
I also liked the charcoal effect?
What do you think?








A second edition from my friend, Austrian artist Heidi ...
we benefit from her and her husband's weekend getaway. 
"Our hotel was situated in Bad Waltersdorf, I added 
some pics of the church and some houses of the village."

"While in Bad Waltersdorf, a small village in the south-eastern 
part of Styria. Gentle hills with vineyards, meadows 
and woods are characteristic for this landscape 
located in the middle of the Styrian thermal region."

"The town of Bad Waltersdorf is also known for the 
beautiful flowers you find in every corner possible."

"The "cafe under the stork nest" with a nest on its chimney. 
They serve most delicious sweets and coffee."

"This most beautiful house goes back to the year 1507."
Thank you again Heid for giving us a passport to Styria.










A smile for Wednesday ...
