"Renewal of Spring" (sold)





















(sold)


There are certainly signs of spring in Texas. Even though that may not be true in every area....it's right around the corner. This piece is about the renewal of creation that happens every spring. The form and stunning color of the Bird of Paradise is a spectacular display of God's creation!

Old credit cards have become my favorite tool...at least for now. Those of you who know me well understand that I often make declarations about something being my absolute favorite until the next thing comes along! But for now, it's the credit card or any other similar card...i.e....room keys from hotels. They can be cut in different widths and used to make expressive marks in gesso, paste, or paint. They are much more flexible than a palette knife, allowing you to be very free as you express away. It's a "free tool" so why not try it out!
