Put the Lime in the Coconut

A prototype for another project and my entry for ICAD (Index card a day). 

Pitch Black

This is our life in the pitch black and on an index card

A Clear Winter

Ice Hummocks envelope

The Group of Seven - A. J. Casson - my version of “Ice Hummocks”.  What a great word hummocks!!  I expect that the inspiration for this one would be north over Lake Superior but I don’t know that to be true.  However, I could almost feel the north wind relentlessly blowing on the pine trees and the freezing water. 

I added loads more orange because well..... because I wanted to. Still using Liquitex acrylic gouache. 

This is on an envelope and it is going out to Muriel in France! I hope she likes it. 

Mushrooms

Texture- I’m doing art on a Index card so here is my tree texture.  We have a shady wooded area out back of the house and with so much rain these mushrooms have popped up on some stumps. I don’t eat mushrooms but my hubby is “itching” to try them.  No way buddy, not a chance!

Liquitex acrylic gouache. 

A farmers field

From a photo I took of a farmers field on my way into town.  Still trying to get the hang of this Liquitex acrylic gouache.  I so love how matte it is which means it isn’t sticky.   Next, I really like the graphic nature of this medium too.
