I used to paint with my watercolors all the time, little sketches of life large and small. I put them aside for beads and fabric, sort of forgetting the small joys. I've been struggling a bit learning about making fabric do what I want, though beads are fairly cooperative. I sort of lost sight of my former artistic life.
I was determined to not go directly to computer and coffee this morning and let myself get distracted by potential collage on a cigar box when I came across some of the paintings...made me really happy to see them. I don't feel quite so artistically adrift now.

okay...what's the word? gobsmacked! amazing, simply amazing! the leaves at first glance I thought was a branch laid on paper and photographed! the berries...wow! you my friend have many hidden talents. And watercolors.....I tend to make muddy colors!
Ditto what Cyn said - you are very talented my friend!
Thanks to both of you, I appreciate the gobsmackage, makes me grin!
this is a sign that you should be combining the 2 passions of your life. Your work is beautiful.

WOW! Sure wish I could paint like that! Just beautiful!
Wow!!! You have talent flying out of those fingers! I love the branch - the shading is fantastic!
Cheers, Denise
oh, my, these are gorgeous. the blackberries are my favorite--wow! but you won't hear me saying, well, since you can paint so gorgeously, why are you worrying about with fabric? nope, not me.
See Rice...that's the train car with the clear window...
These are wonderful (there must be a better, less used word, but I'm a little lazy sometimes ~sometimes?). Anyway, at http://mimiloveforever.blogspot.com/ (and maybe you've already looked) this artist combines watercolors,embroidery, beads, and canvas.
Happy days,
Joanie
