Art, art, art! Sales, sales, sales!

We’ve reached the mid-point of the February 2025 edition of The Creative Gathering. High time I share what I have been up to.

I am working in mixed media collage. 4 x 4 inches. Day 14 is 8 x 8 inches. For the most part they include painted papers (some patterned), hand-drawn elements, digital patterns and digitally created elements.

The three heart designs are completely digital. They are designs for quilt blocks, I added faux stitching, to give an idea of what they might look like when finished.

I didn’t plan to, but I have fallen into a pattern of three’s. I’ll try to continue it for the rest of the month. As usual, I started out with a defined idea. But the art has veered into new directions. Let’s see where the next path leads!

30-Day Creative Gathering Collage

I didn’t stay too far from my usual subjects. Florals dominated the month. I did experiment with a few new techniques in watercolor and collage. I learned a lot. That is always fun.

One of the reasons I enjoy digital collage, is that I am always learning new techniques. I want to do something, make it look a certain way. And often times, I have to figure out just how to do it. Haha.

My favorites are the ones I had the most fun with. Some of you have already shared your favorite pieces with me. It is always interesting to know what others find appealing.

I count my September as a successful one. I picked up a brush, after many months of not painting. My desk is a mess, and I have ideas in mind for new work. I am looking forward to that. And also to the February 2025 session of the Gathering.

I will be adding some of these to my Society6 shop next week. I will let you know when they are available. I appreciate your interest in purchasing my art. Color me excited!

Thanks again friends, I really appreciate hearing from you.
Your support means a lot to me. God Bless!

I’m posting week two, and some extras. The server for my site was under repair for a few days. There may still be some hiccups. Fingers crossed.

I have transitioned from acrylics to watercolor. The acrylic pieces require so much time. And I had been posting really late each day. I still have ideas floating around, so I may be working with collage and acrylics again before the month ends. These are all 8 x 8 inches, except for the landscape. It is 4 x 4 inches.

The sedimentary paints created fun textures.
