Mixed media – collage, acrylic and ink


This began as a pencil sketch 2 years back, just a month before the pandemic and out on the town. Finished today, quietly, in my sketch garden, as a watercolor with ink accents. Time is spice.

Light and fun
this twisted
musical
trio
of keys,
congas
and
bango,
sing the
key of
whatever key
you need.

Orchids
from all over
the world
on display
at the National
Portrait Gallery
in
Washington, DC,
a must see.
Two
orchids
captured
in ink.

A distinctive lady
passes through
Union Station in
Washington, DC
and a quick sketch
was born,
fallen blooms
moments past their
peak were
collected,
and this Bloomin’
Lady revealed
her Springtime charm.
Mixed media.
Pencil. Ink. Fallen tree blossoms. Paint.

This gentle,
caring
lady
devotes her life
to healing
others
through
acupuncture
and kind deeds.
She took on the glow
of an angel as I
painted her portrait.
Which came as no surprise!
Read her amazing
story of grit and
courage.
Mixed media: Charcoal, Ink, Paint

This mixed media
began with
delicate ink markings
and then
transformed by
watercolors,
aiming to honor
the
song birds
and the
coming of
spring.

This lady
looked back
at me
in shades of
black n white,
but then
with
a splash
of lip gloss,
she
became
Ruby.

This tulip
grew from
a powerful
seedling
with muscular
branches,
and hand-like
leaves,
and then
she looked at me
and laughed,
for she had
grown two lips
and she sang and
smiled.
