*Repost* Sometimes I have to say Wow!


I finished this one this week. Ain't she a beauty? I'm so in love with this one right now, I stop to look at it every now and then and love it some more...mixed media, watercolor, water soluble graphitint, and acrylic washes with graphite and various colored pencil treatments...I haven't settled on a name just yet...I keep waffling between Beethoven's Fifth and the Fifth Dimension's Age of Aquarius...a weird combination...maybe I'll just call it The Fifth...

As of today...I still love this little drawing, and it is The Fifth...currently, it's part of a traveling exhibition "Price Check"...I think I would be heart broken if it sold, but it would make me feel good that someone loved it so much they bought it...

I found your blog from Seth's. I really love your art style. I like also how you describe the process you take, something I try to share also. I will be back often, because I really love, love, love what you do, your style, and your art, especially "Night Hush."

This really is a beautiful piece.

I'm so happy you reposted this, for I'd be saddened to know I missed it the first round!

This piece is more than WOW, it's fabulous, there's so much depth to it, great colour too. Love it. I know I wouldn't be parting with it.

If I am getting this kind of WOW chills from the photo of it, I imagine seeing it in person is REALLY awesome.

thank you for picking this one to share ... I most definitely enjoyed it. :)

Very beautiful piece! I love that feeling of connecting with my own work and when I'm feeling low I look again and think, "there, you see I can do it"

"the Fifth" is definately an appropriate name. Magnificent work! Truly.
