Here's my latest collage painting. Love that quote! You may be wondering where my color pencil work is lately. I'm having so much fun with collage painting, that when I sit down to use the color pencils, I just don't feel it. I'm definitely going through a transition lately. Luckily, I have the luxury of going with the flow right now. Don't worry though, color pencil fans—I have a cp piece developing in my mind right now. Hoping to work on it next week. Stay tuned.
Here's a shot of what's on my drawing board today. You can see a finished piece here. These will house little birdie collages in the windows and will be available in my Etsy shop soon (God willing and the creeks don't rise).

Another birdhouse that I collaged with a page from an old book. I just can't seem to get enough of birdhouses.

I just finished this the other day. Had to wait for good light to photograph it. I had so much fun making this, that I may make some more to sell in my shop. Any interest out there?

I found a really sweet birdhouse in our forest. Trapped under vines and old beyond use, it inspired this painting. It looked so much like a little clock that I decided to reinvent it as one, with fresh new paint. Now it can welcome a new family with pride.

It's a new day and a new week! Yeah! Josh and I have been painting lately. I'll show his in the next post. I don't know why, but I love birdhouses! These sat in my office for a year before I decided what to do with them. I liked them unpainted, so I just left them until inspiration struck. The one above is a little 2" one. I may paint more for my upcoming Etsy shop. Let me know what you think. The others are actually big enough to house bird families, but will live in my studio instead. As you can see the lilacs are blooming. They are so beautiful. I love them!
I knew I wanted to collage the roofs, but didn't know what to use. Then something arrived all wrapped up in this tissue paper with calligraphy on it and I knew at once it would work. I do wish that I had left the darker tissue as is, but of course, I went one step too far and covered it up with the lighter version. I really wish I could remember where the tissue came from. I'd love to get more.

Illo for the sports section of the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Notre Dame's football team has been all but knocked out so far this season.
Lovely charming artworks
