OLIVES art tag

We have many olive groves in Paso Robles. Olive oil is pressed here. It is just wonderful. Along with the vinyards in a marvelous micro climate in this particular area. This tag is made from one of my paintings of "olives". Had to add a bee of course, beloved bees.

I think as I go these are going to get more lavish! I thought I would draw the line at lace but I am looking fondly at some sweet pieces I have collected thru the years.Jewels would be nice too, have put a few on some of the cards. It is amazing what we have just sitting in boxes and in our cupboards. At some point I will put these in the gallery but right now I am having a very good time learning as I go along. Yes, I am still painting and doing clay and what ever, idle hands you know!!

New Work

Good Morning!

It is a gorgeous morning here on the coast and I hope it is where you are too!

I am getting ready to go out to my studio and work. I have a commission in clay to start today and I also have some small pieces to make for the Chambers Gallery.
How ever, I feel an abstract coming on! Must not be deterred but I am inspired! I was reading this morning of something called Yupo. It is a plastic paper primarily used by watercolor artists. Have any of you painters out there experimented with it?

I did read of one artist who used oils on it, that is what I want to try.Apparently the paint doesn't absorb, it has a degree of difficulty because putting on layers isn't possible! It just moves what is already underneath! That can be frustrating to say the least!There must be a drying technique...hair dryer for water color...well anyway, that is my next experiment!
Please let me know if you have tried it, I would love to have your input!

More on this later! XO Susan
