IRIS COLLAGE

I love combining my watercolours with papers, stamping and interesting designs.

I began by painting the irises leaving the right side blank...then I added Japanese rice papers, gold stamping and painting behind the iris in black acrylic.  The gold doesn't show up very well in the photo but the right side has a beautiful pattern of gold running through it.

This is called The Fruit Vendor.  I painted this from a photo I took when I was on a painting trip to Italy.  The fruit and vegetables were overflowing the old, rickety crates.  The market place was just outside the ancient city walls which is depicted behind this vendor.  This is a combination of watercolor and acrylics. $200.00

Acrylic painting called Ancient Arches. The slight blue hint on the left side is from the flash.  A really colourful painting.  $300.00
