This painting is done on a piece of handmade paper and has no rice paper collage. The handmade paper has a very rough texture and therefore creates some unusal interest.
This painting was done after a trip to China and a cruise on the Yangtze River. The banks were beautifully terraced. It is acrylic on rice paper collage with a light wash of gesso on top.
This is a small painting of a street scene. There is a church in the background and some people are in the square. I used some gold acrylic and glass beads again to create more texture.
This painting is of the facade of the Parroquia in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I used rice paper collage and many colors caran d'arche (French crayon).
My paintings are mixed media; beginning with watercolor paper and then using rice paper collage. The paint I use is liquid acrylic and then eventually the highlights are made with various crayons or markers.
