A Mixed Media Experience

  Im not sure who all reads my posts but I realized some may wonder who I am as an artist because of my title A Mixed Media Experience. I knew very young who I was ..I knew deep in my heart that  I loved art. Not just any one specific medium, but everything...I loved paper..all paper!! and pens and pencils! I loved the color blue as it washed across a sheet of  white crisp paper. I loved brush strokes and the feel of clay ..I didn't love pastel on my hands but on paper ..it breathed. I have stood in the presence of a Monet and wept. I worked for seven years with graphite until I learned all I thought I could learn and still learn something new everyday. I have photo albums filled with images and tell myself they are all reference pics! I loved it all and still do! Without art I think my soul would shrivel up within me.
 
                                                                    
                                                                               
                            
  Today I may feel like watercolor and tomorrow I may drag out glue and paper and work on a colorful collage.
 
I usually have my camera in hand just in case I spy a pretty little bird or an interesting landscape or
even an odd little scrap of something lying in the grass.
