Rituals of Creativity to be offered this Fall.

I'm working on a series of mixed media paintings using fiber paste as the substrate. This is my first study - and the canvas size is small - 8" x 10". I'm gradually going bigger (next painting is 12" x 16"), keeping with the landscape composition and rough texture.
