I would like to refer you to my new fb page.

I haven't been as active on my blog lately as I had hoped I would be. However, I have started an art fb page to use to display my art work. I am finding it more fun and easier to use, so I think I will use that more often now than this blog. So if you would like to continue to see more of my art work please google Fineartricia  or Fineartricia fb and it should come up. Let me know if you have any trouble. I hope to hear from you there. I would appreciate any 'Likes' you can give me on fb also.

That said I will continue putting things on the blog occasionally. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement in following this blog, it has been very much appreciated. And yes, I will put a photo of the finished mural up soon.

A mural in progress. This mural named 'Nature Calling' was produced by Crisp, Miko and Tish in Bogota Colombia on a sunny Sunday. I will post the completed mural on the next post.

The ladder was borrowed from a local shop. When Miko offered to leave his watch as collateral  for the ladder, the owner refused saying that they trusted him and it wasn't necessary. How very kind.

Tish is my street art name and I am not very active in the street art scene. However, I very much enjoyed sharing the experience with Miko and Crisp, but it isn't really me. I liked doing something out of my comfort zone as a challenge though!

I'm back after a no blogging break.

It is taking me awhile to get used to the blogging and making it a weekly habit. It may be because I am a fairly private person, who doesn't feel the need to tell people what I am doing. It also could be because although I have been busy painting, I haven't been finishing my paintings. I have been chasing the new challenge and going from one painting to the next. Anyway, I have a lot to finish,so I must get onto it this month. In the meantime, what picture to post on the blog. Let me think!

Aha, I love the wonderful effects you can get with watercolour. Back washes used to be discouraged in traditional watercolour practice, times have changed and you can do what you like now, and have such fun with them. Here I have used back washing in the sky, mountains, hills and foreground. I like them. What so you think?
