ENGLISH RED

Old Holland English Red is unique in several ways. Semi-opaque to opaque, rich earthy reddish brown, this pigment doesn't wash down easily. It's consistency is hard to report on as my tube is very old and I may not be getting a good representation of what it is really like to work with. But the color was lovely mixed with black and worked well for this Mourning Cloak Butterfly.

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
