Paintings Day 3

 Inlet, acrylic, collage, and ink on fine linen board. 5x7".
This was painted horizontally, and just now I turned it 90 degrees and suddenly it looked like a sea scape.  Sorta.

 Kitchen Sink #2, acrylic, stamping, collage, ink, on linen board, 11x14". I have no explanation for this. Alternate title: Road Kill.

Bubbly, acrylic, collage, ink, transparent transfer, stamping, on paper. 9x12".
I felt most at home doing this painting, because it felt like my fusing technique.

Kimberj please email  me.

I placed this last in this post but it was the first one I made, and then it went downhill after this. I am a tiny bit discouraged, but ready to get back on the horse again today.
Actually the first part of the day was spent making tissue prints from my gelli plate, and piling them up on my table to dry. The idea is to have a 'ready' supply of collage papers.

 Here's my worktable. Totally disorganized chaos. Or, um, organized chaos. Just a mess.

I have got to figure out a way to do this without the visual clutter. Messy is a not good working condition for me.

And now a little garden talk.

 At either end of this tub is cantaloupe, which I am trying to contain in tomato cages. The flowers are being overtaken by the sweet potato vines, which are tumbling out on the opposite side, just like they should. I may take some cuttings and root new plants from these, as I have two nice ceramic pots with nothing in them.

 The cantaloupe vines are encroaching on the zucchini, so I put a chair there to entice the tendrils to grab it instead.

Speaking of tendrils, here are the watermelons, interplanted with coneflowers. Good thing we have room for these vines, as they grow about 6 inches a day. Whew!
