"OVER THE RIVER"





This little 6x6 painting suggests some kind of woodsy forest.  It's a study of various textures created with papers.  The tree on the far left is made with a homemade paper using tissue and tea leaves - makes fabulous trunks.
The next tree is some mylar wrapping paper and is very sparkly - too bad the sparkles don't show on the photo.  If you look very carefully, you can see star patterns.
The fourth tree from the left is some corrugated paper I had.  It was an atrocious yellow color that I had to tone down a lot.

  1. Very nice, Carol. Are these creations all from imagination or do you sometimes use a photo and adapt the scene?
