"Wings"

 New experimental art.  About a month ago, one of the art league members gave a demonstration on frame-less watercolor.  The idea is to attach a finished painting to a "cradleboard" with heavy body clear acrylic medium - trim off the excess around the edges and let it dry.  The next step is to carefully rub a wax medium onto the surface - gently rubbing to an even low gloss.  From there you can paint the edges and wire the painting on the back.  

I wanted to try this on a smallish piece of art.  This is the finished watercolor.  I will update when I finish the mounting.  I haven't done a watercolor for ages.  Primarily, because of the cost of the matt, the frame and the glass on traditionally displayed watercolor.

Newest Art

 "AuberGine"  (Yes, that is also the name of one shade of purple - word play.)  The inspiration for this started with a photo of the face; which yes, I have changed to avoid legal problems.
