Which Came First?? Paper Collage Finished!

I had originally decided to call this "Which Came First?", but from the look on this girl's face, I'm thinking I should call it "Where Did THAT Come From?!" or "Did I Do That??"
This turned out very bright and busy, but I like it. It's a fun one for sure!

Wilkweed ~ "Blowin' in the Wind" Version 4

I have a short workday on Wednesdays, so last Wednesday afternoon I got the sudden urge to work on another Milkweed painting! I tried to take into considerations suggestions that I received here on my blog and on some art forums I belong to. This one is quite a bit darker, and I tried to incorporate a lot of texture. I wasn't as successful with the Epsom salts this time, and had to get out the handy-dandy Proxa -brush to lightly scrub back to white for some of the seed fluff. I finished this up yesterday morning.

Okay, I screamed when that happened, I don't know why, but I've never seen a bunny do that before! This is watercolour and coloured pencil on the back side of Arches 140 lb CP paper, and the size is approx 8" X 10".

Haven't been painting much, but I started work on another mixed media piece the other day. While I was waiting for part of it to dry, I started playing with a piece of paper that I had brushed gesso on a while ago. Part of it looked good so I doodled these trees on the parts I liked and made a dyptych of it. Both are about 4" x 10" acrylic on paper. Just a little fun, nothing serious!
