Inspired Masa Paper
Great fun playing around with Masa paper. My artist sister Noreen, saw SrishtiArt's blog posting of working with Masa paper. This inspired her to order it and prepare some for us to try out.
I was surprise how vibrant the watercolor shows up on this, I only did 2 layers and got some very vibrant colors. It also stayed wet longer after applying paint and not much water is needed. I'm excited about doing some more stuff with this paper.

It's been awhile! and small paintings
Hello! I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but glad to say that I've been able to paint in between all the on-goings. Most of these are small paintings which have been fun to do.

The gardens at Fioli house are Blooming! I went a few weeks ago and took a ton of photo's and planning to again to get more pictures of the flowers that weren't in bloom yet.
If you've never heard of Fioli house and garden's check out their link. It's a Beautiful site and a great way to spend part of your day if you live around here.
Fioli House and Gardens
"Located 30 miles south of San Francisco, Filoli is an historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century."

Paint my Photo!
Great idea! and Great site!
This is a great idea where photographer's and artist come together and art can happen.

Paint my Photo
http://paintmyphoto.ning.com/
What's the Idea?
"Very Simple, there are lots of great Photographers out there in internet land, and there are lots of Artists of all abilities who would like to paint from photographs. The problem is that Copyright law prevents this, although many photographers would love to inspire other Artists (Yes I do agree photography is an Art, I chose the terms 'Artists' and 'Photographers' for clarity). So-If you have posted photographs here, it is because you are happy to allow derivative works to be created. You still own the copyright of your photos of course. The Artist can, if the photographer has selected that option on joining, contact the Photographer to enable them to see the work. The Artist can sell their work as normal, if the photographer wants 'first refusal' on the Artwork, that should be by private arrangement and has nothing to do with 'Paint My Photo'. Artists can place links to where there work can be purchased. Photographers can place links to where other work and prints can be purchased. Anyone spamming and not following the spirit of the site will be warned and advised before any action taken.
****IMPORTANT!**** We are a site for natural media only, no digital artwork, thanks for sticking to this rule.
I hope this site proves useful, have Fun everyone!"
