Blue Heron – Being in COVID ICU, and just ICU in general, the past 18 months have been stressful, so I do what I can to relax. Walking in my neighborhood around the ponds helps a lot. I kept seeing a beautiful blue heron and hoped to capture some of its beauty. I wanted to try different techniques so used cold wax and mica powders and coated with a resin.
Gilded Tongue – So much was being said on news and in papers, but I still felt like it was just words. And again, I wanted to try different techniques and used gilding papers, acrylic paints, newspaper, and resin.
