Altered Book Collage and Mixed Media - Vintage Boy and His Dog

This is a recently finished page that I did while vacationing up North at our Lake house.

A Boy and His Dog

I haven't had nearly as much time this year to spend on my own art, since I started teaching art at my school. It has turned out to be a much larger undertaking that I anticipated. So it felt really good to do something just for me for a change. Teaching art has certainly stretched me in many ways and my art has definitely improved because of it, but I miss having the free time to just go into the studio and play.

And I haven't had too much free time to post on my blog.  But summer is coming. So I hope to be better about putting things up.

If you happen to visit, please leave a comment so I know you were here.  Thanks.

Birds in Colored Pencils

I have been experimenting with using colored pencils and I have really been enjoying it. I am using Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. They are dreamy to work with. I used a couple of tutorials from the internet and two are my own work from photos. I love this new-to-me medium.

Altered Book Mixed Media Collage

Haven't posted here in a really long time, but I have been making art. Here are a couple of collage spreads that I did recently inside my altered book turned journal.
