Mixed Media (or Keep Going!)

Every painting goes through an awkward stage also know as the “ugly stage”. It’s a time when you may not be sure if it is worth going on or not. 99.9% of the time it is! If you already don’t like it, then what have you got to lose? Try something little or go big. …

May means Spring has definitely arrived, many flowers, including irises like this oil painting, are blooming, and most importantly, Ron celebrates his birthday for the month or more. It's a big one this year! Happy Birthday, Ron! Here's to many more birthdays together!

I'm in my studio at @workhousearts painting tulips from my time in Amsterdam. They were so beautiful, I even bought some bulbs for my garden. It's helpful to catch good photos so I can take my time and focus on layers, while enjoying the details. 

Come check out the progress anytime!

Dynamic Doodle #1001? What was I thinking when I painted this? I am not sure. It had to be happy thoughts though. Why else would I have chosen such joyful colors and made whimsical shapes?  The wonderful thing about painting this way is that things just happen. Sometimes they are great, sometimes not, but I just keep going and it all seems to work out. Sounds like life. Enjoy it.

This little flower, based on a crysanthemum, is from one of my sketchbooks. It is mixed media. I started with watercolor on a toned page and added ink, gouache and colored pencils. I like to end with a few 'dottie bits'! 

I’m getting ready for an interactive exhibit this June at @workhousearts  in Building 5. I’ll be sharing pages that still feel meaningful to me, moments from years of sketching that have stayed with me. It's fun to prepare and look through so many memories. I'll share more about the exhibit soon!

"Merchant of Petra", 14x11 Here's another painting showing my love for camels. They are beautiful yet a bit wonky, hard-working creatures.
 
This painting is available in my Workhouse Studio, 509.

An abstract with colors that make me happy! How about you? This painting was fun to create without planning. I must have been having a great day! I hope you have a great one, too.

Fish of Many Colors will be one of the many paintings featured in Studio 5's May Exhibit called "Menagerie" @workhousearts. 

This is painted with watercolors, inks, colored pencils, and stencils. Fish are one of my favorite subjects. The flowy shapes and colors remind me of painting flowers in a colorful garden. 

Come and visit the beautiful "Menagerie" in Workhouse Arts Center Studio 5, May 6- June 9.

A few more photos sketching everywhere I go during a recent trip to Europe! Looks like I can even draw with my eyes closed!? I'm happy to be home, though. Some of the exciting things coming up: Studio Time with Marni and Friends (Live and on Zoom), Watercolor Workshops, and in 2026, an AMA Waterways River Cruise in Colombia, South America. And more to be scheduled, too!
