Ready for the show

I've made two more pieces to finish up the number I need for the Art Sistas show at the Galesburg Community Arts Center, June 2 - July 15. I'll be exhibiting six animal or bird pieces with unusual backgrounds and five landscapes. The square artwork uses a photo my friend Sheila took of a squirrel eating a cookie that I overlaid on a tile wall photo from Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, Italy. It includes some sections of an expense ledger from the 1800s. The landscape is from a photo I took along the Atlantic in Portugal. I've added in some sections of a vintage world map into the boardwalk and vegetation.

Just back from Italy...

I spent the month of December in Italy and came back with many photos to work with for art. This is the first of many to come. It started with a photo of Riomaggiore,  a village in Cinque Terre, and I overlaid text in the sky from a letter displayed in a museum in Bologna. The panel is 12"H x 9"W.
