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

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"

Beach Themes....love them

We spend time at the beach in Rhode Island every summer, and at the CT. beaches when we can. 

These yearly trips make for lots of inspiration.   Pushing around the inks to make interesting skies is great fun.  I used liquid mask to make a clean spot to put in the seagull.

The mask idea worked here for the pelican, too.  Really had fun making a vibrant sky and trying to get some reflection in the water.
