Mixed Media painting

I decided it was long enough to go without painting, so I pulled out my most colorful paints and went to town!  I enhanced a few pieces I had already gelliprinted and did some new pieces as well and absolutely love them.  Here's a few I've done so far.

Doodles

One thing I did do at the end of 2015 was doodle a bit more.  Here are a few of the doodled pages I shared.  Hope you enjoy!  This year I've also started a daily doodle project in my Year of the Doodle planner/journal.  The pages in this thing are absolutely gorgeous.  If you're not into doodling, it would really make a nice little planner as well.  Or you could use it for both I guess.  I'll post my progress so far in another post.

I've been trying to push this latest style into something a bit more fun.  I really like where it's going so far.  This is a little practice piece I came up with over the weekend.  I added some texture to the layers.  And I've been trying to create more 'scenes' or idea pictures, rather then just random items with no concept or design.  It's definitely helping to get my creativity flowing.  Creating this way is more about creating shapes then dealing with lines so it's more like putting a puzzle together. 

Lettering with pictures

Mixed in the lettering with a couple of pictures. :) Mostly for my own amusement to create some custom wallpapers for my computer.

Lettering practice

I've been practicing more lettering. And kind of got carried away with it....
