Finally getting creative again....

My life has felt kind of nuts lately with colds and work. I'm on vacation this week and have finally gotten to a place where I feel like picking up my brushes and other tools and start painting again.

I've been reading books on acrylic mediums and have started to experiment. This is just a playtime ditty. The underpainting is acrylic inks on clayboard with squirts of alcohol. Then I did some stenciling, sponging, and imprinting just to see how they all would look. I used Golden soft gel, Daniel Smith iridescent watercolors, and Golden iridescent fluid acrylics. It was fun and there will be much more to come.....maybe even on this piece!

Which Jane Austen heroine are you???

I love Jane Austen, so when I saw this quiz, I couldn't resist. Sometimes I think I fit more than one answer so I tried it using the different ones. Both times I came up as Elinor Dashwood of Sense and Sensibility....a favorite! Think I'll watch it this afternoon!

I am Elinor Dashwood!
