PPF - Waiting for Spring

Como Esperando Abril - epoxy resin, etc
Hi all at PPF!

Wanted to share a piece about springtime, now that it is actually leaving here. Am happy to have appeared in PPF's interview! It was fun & sthg I'd been wanting to do for a time. I notice the piece appears in the interview so I thought I'd discuss it more.

Autumn Photo - JH
This was one of many made with epoxy resin product, and one of my fave in that series - there were like 12 or 13 -  is it recently sold :D / :( good to sold, bad not to have it again!! It was made with almost a monoprint process with tempera paint on sheetrock or some nonsense, then bathed over with EnviroTek epoxy resin.  What is mysterious about this, is that less than a year after I made it, Jim took a photo which was weirdly the same = a mirror image of the above. When I first saw the photo I almost fell over backwards!!!


Speaking of photos,, I would love for folks to look at some photo contests I have here:Ducks - http://www2.thriftyfun.com/tf71771001.tip.html
Sunset - http://www2.thriftyfun.com/tf36647451.tip.html
Graffitti- http://www2.thriftyfun.com/tf30865107.tip.html

if I get plenty of thumbs up I win a prize :D isn't that neat? Also, TF is a fun community - why don't y'all go sometime and post your own contest and tell everyone about it? You can do recipes, photos, tips, etc.

Have a great time!

Great interview - I loved hearing that you were as fickle as I was in my younger days, although you did manage to get an art degree in the end up!

What an interesting artist you are! And person, who through thick and thin, ups and downs perseveres and stays true to herself. Congrats on your interview and sales and constantly evolving artwork.

I'm wondering if this painting is intuitive or psychic ....You should look to see if your other pieces have coming to roost!! Very magical!!

Amazing, I like your work. I like the thought that your painting is intuitive. . . how interesting. What we find out about ourselves through what we do/say! Blessings, Janet PPF
