I immediately felt the southwest and a moon over a canyon.

I see a river flowing through a southwest area, too!
You always amaze and surprise me with your creativity. There is a feeling of depth and I love how the round object is precariously positioned
Another amazing piece Deb! What do you use to make the writing and lines in your work? I’m always fascinated by that. Do you typically use acrylic when you paint or oils? Always so creative!
I use acrylic and watercolor for painting. I used to use oil, but I have asthma and work inside, so I switched to acrylic to avoid breathing problems. . The writing is usually done by using a stencil and black acrylic on tissue paper-the kind you use for gift wrapping. When it dries it can be added to a collage by brushing matte medium on the collage, laying down the printed section, then brushing matte medium on top of the words. The tissue paper becomes transparent but the words stay. I also have some mulberry paper that has words already on it, and it acts the same way. And when I do something that looks like a Chinese character, I use a chisel-tipped pen and just write it myself. It’s not an actual character, just a squiggle that I do intuitively. I hope that’s not too much information!
I LOVE YOUR STUFF!!!!!
Thank you! Likewise!!
Your work is crazy wonderful Deb. I’m always fascinated by the textures, marks, shapes and lines. The layers of color and use of black line in this piece are compelling. They make me want to keep looking.
