Vein Canvas Print

This was a fun challenge: I had a nice monochrome blow out of browns without a definite center of interest. With alcohol I pulled some of the color out to make delicate vein of white and found it to be very satisfying in a quiet, serene sort of way. If you need a soothing piece in a chaotic room, this one just might do the trick. I invite you to zoom in for the delicious details! Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

I've been painting since I was nine years old when my mother put a brush in my hand and said, "This is how you do it." I must have been a good listener. My career as a a painter has come in waves, however. It has taken me a lifetime, but I am now a full-time painter. A few years ago I challenged myself to do a painting a day; hence, the eye paintings. I recently lost my husband of 47 years. As part of my bereavement, I visited my artist/sister, KC Pollak, in Colorado. We spent nearly all day for 10 days in her art cabin making alcohol ink paintings. What a joyful, healing time! And I found a new love and passion. Now I live my work and love my life even more.
