Two New Paintings... experimenting with thread



'These Rainy Days' is inspired by the week of rain and storms we recently had in Chicago. Lately I've been experimenting with sewing thread into some of my work, as I did here (over the three middle circles and up the left side of the stripes). I like the subtle texture it adds to this combo of watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil and ink!




'Tooty Fruity' is just a fun little vintage-inspired piece, incorporating a recipe for fruit sauce from an old book, and finished off with watercolors, acrylics, and lime green thread.
