"Jungle Jewel" Original 17.5 x 24.5 Acrylic Painting
A relaxing Saturday... did a 2 hour yoga workshop this morning and then came home to paint "Jungle Jewel". This is a very pretty piece made up of gallery wrapped canvases of various depths, wood molding and fused glass tile all attached to a wooden backing so that it hangs as one piece 17.5" x 24.5" for $875. It has been rather gray, so it was nice to do a tropical piece.

"Bathtub Turtles" 18x21 Mosaic Mirror
Good Evening...chilly with a bit of snow for us here. I finally finished my interior mosaic class, which I took from Jan Wilhelmi in Coeur d' Alene at the Creative Element. She is a great teacher and I learned a lot.
Here is my first project..."Bathtub Turtles". Appropriately it will go on the wall above my tub to keep my Mexican and Haitian sculptures company.
