@frances007, I added this post to your earlier discussion. It looks like an inspiring website.

Can you tell me more about your art?

Thank you.
My art is very spontaneous as and often I start out with one idea that usually ends up looking nothing like planned. Currently I am working with dried, pressed flowers and assembling on card stock, as you will see. I will attempt to post some photographs once I move them from my phone to my laptop.
My paintings are mixed media cityscapes, abstract in design and very colorful. I have sold many and recently gave one to my former rheumatologist as a gift for helping me navigate my health issues.
My favorite medium is watercolor, very unforgiving. Sometimes I soak the paper, a large sheet, until it is very wet, and apply bold strokes of vivid colors and allow them to mix together to form whatever shape happens to occur. It is interesting that so many think they cannot draw a straight line, and therefore are not artistic, but if you look at many of the paintings done by the Masters, straight lines are not often seen. My art is my way to cope. I think I must dream about it because as soon as I wake up in the morning, I grab my coffee, put headphones on and become lost in my creative process. Time does flies when you are having fun.
