New art

This is a second collage in my underwater series

Irene

Well, we thought we got through Irene without incident...but no...our neighbor's huge oak tree fell into our yard. No one was hurt but the neighbor was pretty shaken up. I'll be waiting for the tree guys today.

Wildwood

Went to Wildwood yesterday............didn't get any photos because we were at the water park.
However, the last time we went there was about 12 years ago. I seemed less crowded but maybe its because we went during the week. Mind you, I'm not complaining, it was nice to walk the boardwalk without being jostled and pushed along! The shops were selling the usual beach faire. I still would have liked some photos to compare with the older ones.

I am still working on my sea series. I have started a seahorse using my own painted papers just like the fish. I wikll post soon.

inspiration

I find inspiration in many places but I began finding interest in collage when my daughter was young. I read many Eric Carle books to her and always loved his illustrations (as well as the stories) . I find his work inspirational. So, take a peek at his work, you may be inspired too!
