This piece was painted a few days ago. I actually wiped it out, thinking it was a loss. But as I have gone through my file, I keep seeing this. And I have to say I really like it. I did it! My...

Looking at this now, I’m thinking maybe I should go back and mess it up a bit. Splatter a little turquoise, a little yellow. What do you think? I might have the center too large. Though there are...

I have a handful of Mineral paper pieces. Experiments really. Still more I want to try of course. Some lighter colors do seem to scan differently on the paper. Maybe that has something to do with the...
