Black and White and Green All Over

My fav part of the process. 
The background collage.
In my mind's eye I was thinking 
black, white and lime green. 
Wait till you see what I ended up with. 
Completely not black white and lime green.

See!! I told you!! I love drips! 
I am a drippy dame. 
Layers of paint, stencils and assorted blobs.
Now the fun part:
Using alcohol and a cotton swab,
unveiling parts of the collage underneath.
What I have so far:
Living with 
the work in progress 
for inspiration:
Next post will be about that 
bird painting in upper right corner.
I had a summer with productive spurts
combined with sluggishness!
And FINALLY
I finished my parent's painting,
The Orb.
Here I am with my baby, with mixed feelings.
Happy and Proud of what I created
but sick to death of it!!
Kind of like parenting
a kid who is about to turn 18
teehee.
The long view without
my noggin in the middle. 
teehee.
Thanks for looking, visiting and
commenting. 
May the Muse Be With You.

  1. Oh my goodness! I love seeing this! you are inspiring me to get off the computer and MAKE something! You have come so far in your journey and each new thing you create and each new thing you try is so empowering and impressive to me. I am in awe! Cannot wait to see your green devolve to show more underneath - fascinates me to no end. And, I can't wait to know more about the bird piece!
