(loving texture as I do, I had been considering the wraps as affirmation sticks on their own, but this one just needed the color and texture...stay tuned for my affirmation sticks as stand alone pieces!)

 "Aspen Travels" is a first of a kind with the addition of the wrapped stick to add texture and color to this "slice" of a scene of an aspen stand.  There is a fun vertical texture added to this 20"x20" stretched canvas with the aspen taking up a portion of the top.  It's meant to be a "slice" of subject matter on the wonderful ever so slightly greyish white textured surface.  The aspen stand is acrylic, paper and oil. The colors in the wrap compliment the colors found in this slice of aspen life and add a great bit of texture to this painting.  The wrapped stick is attached securely so is a permanent addition to this assemblage painting.  Truly one of a kind.  A great way to own a larger canvas that is priced reflecting the color portions of this piece.

 

 This is a second in a series that I am developing.  You may remember "Color Gives Us Clarity"

Ever searching for inspiration to grow and grow...

HAPPY CREATING!

VISIT TO NEW BRAUNFELS TEXAS

We recently returned from the Austin area on a scouting trip for a possible move.  In the end we decided we loved New Braunfels and surrounding area...a fun town, a great art community, and my brother and his family are there...so, eventually we will relocate to that area.  These are some fun things we encountered on our trip.

My sweet husband is so patient with me as I try selfies with my regular camera!  Since my arms are so short, he always is front and center!  But I think he's adorable and wonderful!  We are sitting under bat bridge in Austin, waiting for hundreds of thousands of bats to fly out from under the bridge at dusk...it was interesting...but we couldn't see them as well as they looked no matter my photo...check out below.

People line up all the way down the bridge and wait...

This was the best photo I could get...those little black dots..yep, bats...kinda spooky pic; like Halloween!

These birds were EVERYWHERE down there...sure would love to know what they are!

This is beautiful Landa Park in New Braunfels...several lakes come together here.

I loved this park...even though the trees are different, it felt like home!

This dude was eyeing me for quite awhile...he didn't bite, but I think he was hoping for some food!

This was an opening to Black Panther Canyon...it went on for miles...BEAUTIFUL!

The best part of course was family...my beautiful neice, Kaitlinn who guided us through the canyon.

I adore my brother...and of course my wonderful husband too!

My sister in law, Lori and I cried when I left without a house purchase!  We have always been able to laugh like kids when we were together...we SO look forward to having a life of lots of laughing very soon!

I am working on some fun Christmas Crafts for a two month show at the AAR RIVER GALLERY in Westminster...so it is a busy time in my studio!  STAY TUNED!

HAPPY CREATING!
