Upcoming Harpeth Hall Green Art show includes one of my paintings

>

Yay!  It selected this one, which is done on Arches 140 # cold pressed paper.  Inks/paints used are my homemade ones, including stains of blueberry, saffron, blackberry, chamomile and walnut.  It’s made archival by a coat of mat medium on front and back.  Now to mat, frame, present it and at the opening, enjoy it among the field of work by other artists from 11 states who submitted to this show.

What the witches brew concocted…

The top painting is on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper and the paints really did beautifully – especially the walnut one I made which was smooth like butter and very, very rich which is why I used it alone in the very zen-like second painting.  Done in the Sumi-e style, it is simply walnut paint on the handcrafted pampas grass paper I made.

Hope you enjoyed todays lesson.  = )
