I love the results in all three paintings especially the way you keep the beautiful colors and expressive qualities in each. The alcohol ink on yupo gives great textures! I love the bright and fresh feel of "x four" and the oil is gorgeous with your fracturing technique. Love the light on the tulips!!

I see artists putting the ink in felt tip pens and that is most likely what you can have fun with but I use the bottle tip to put it down and dropping it on top is another. I tried brushes and what a laugh that gave me as I watched the brush fall apart. I am interested enough to keep going with them.<br />I really like your still life. Don't often see you do one so it was a real treat.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-11815824928791446042016-04-07T21:46:31.286-06:002016-04-07T21:46:31.286-06:00Oh Carol, your new abstract is truly FABULOUS.

Do you plan on doing a series? <br />Thanks for the kind words and I agree about how different the same subject can look with choices made but I find the media I use has the most impact. I enjoy the surprise of how the lack of control with alcohol ink forces me to respond differently. How about when you cut out the paper for your collages? Is it a whole different mind set?<br />I look at what Libby Fife is doing with hand painted papers - great stuff.<br />and nothing like her paintings which I liked too. So the freedom to experiment is strong within us and I love the way we can share and celebrate it all.. <br />juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-43334072915718310332016-04-07T21:13:26.586-06:002016-04-07T21:13:26.586-06:00I have missed you, Rita, but happy to know you we...I have missed you, Rita, but happy to know you were with Valentina and family.
