Alcohol Ink Star

Am posting several images in succession so I can order my annual 'blog book'. It gives me a sense of having accomplished something to hold a book in my hand - to say this is a record of my year long art work. Hope every one else enjoys my circles as much as I do! Alcohol Inks are fun to work with - I like the way colors interact with each other before they have dried. Just for fun!

Almost Christmas

Was looking for my Christmas Mandala when I found this bromeliad cross - I liked the subtle colors and the way they blended together. We survived a -2 last night. Brrrr

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - always colorful. I found these gourds at a local nursery and liked the colors. Enjoy the day with your family!

coleus

A very colorful coleus from the Denver Botanic Gardens. Our long Indian summer allowing things to continue blooming late into the year!

Engleman Ivy

Eagleman ivy turns a wonderful red in the Fall. It grows all over my fences

Happy Halloween!

Orange color and spidery shadows. Just for fun!

celtic pine needles

Was pleasantly surprised by the Celtic looking pattern that formed in the middle of this mandala. Flowers are fading - what is left in my garden are marigolds and pansies. We are still having mild weather so it will be interesting to see what is blooming at the Botanic Gardens next week.
