A busy week in the studio!
I love summer because the long hours make for more time in the studio! I've been planning new classes this week and playing with new ideas. I combined paints and collage, doodles, and drawings in this fun piece. I did the drawing of the 'choke before I added the map and had to solve the problem of how to add the map in that specific space. I used some tissue to trace the area and then used the tissue as a pattern to cut out the map! Perfect and easy solution. This piece makes me think of traveling, of gardens and the happiness of flowers blooming in the yard! Wonderful summer thoughts! Happy PPF
to all my new friends!

Beautiful summery piece, Chris.
