Snake

 NEW WORK IN PROCESS

I have been collecting natural objects for years. (Many different types)  

Lately, interesting branches have captured my attention.  I am not exactly sure how all of this will play out... but I am drawing on them with colored pencils, pen and markers.  Layers of color are repeatedly sealed with spray fixative, creating a rich surface of color. It feels like I am painting again. It is compelling and delicious! Everytime I come near these sanded, smooth branches, I want to pick them up and touch them. I LOVE the feeling. Exhilarating.

Currently, I am planning some sculptural pieces. As soon a one is ready, I will post some photos!
