Quick post...

Tried  a 9 x 12 ink today...

I'm calling it Rushing River, after I pushed the blue around till it looked ok...I actually had mountains in mind, but the inks didn't feel like it this time...lol

Following the frame style again...

Did a picture to look good in a frame I already had, and it took forever, as I kept changing and adding to it...

...and I guess it was worth the hassle, as the AI group I am in all loved it.  The colors are much softer than others before and I wasn't sure if it worked.  But I will take public opinion happily and put it out there for someone to purchase.

Perfect for a big rustic frame...

Had a nice chunky frame that I am in the process of cleaning up and giving a nice soft shine finish.  Then I did this 8 x 10 to put in it.  Thought the rough rocks and orange sky would suit the frame.  I'm calling it 'Waterfall"

The woodsy looks...

The first try was a bit surreal...

This one looked a little closer to real and worked with acrylics added for the little flowers.

This one was my first try at using a credit card edge to make the trees look enough like trees...lol

This is a little 4x6 for practice and came out looking pretty good, so I will frame it, too.

This one I called "Quiet Pond" and was inspired from a pic I found on Pinterest...It is quite large, as it is 11 x 14 Yupo paper.  

5 x 7 practice time...

Here is a cluster of small ones I practiced on.  The group I am in has lots of suggestions on what to use to make the various shapes happen.

This one is a scenic attempt...water and sky with a moon.

This is blowing the ink out with a straw to make petals.

Here I tried to make a pond effect and used a credit card to push up the grasses.  Then used a thin brush to make a bit of accent in brown acrylic at the front.

Here I used canned air to push the white up onto the green to give the effect of water hitting the rocks in the foreground.  Rocks made use of the credit card edge again.

This looks so simple now that I have done more complex methods, but it was a good first try at water with waves and foam.

Now the flowers are getting more 'flower-shaped'  

...and this one came out surreal, but pretty cool.

This one has ink for the background, and mettalic gel pens for the dragon fly.  Simple but showing the effect of two mediums used together.
