Thirty in Thirty Day 7 Abstract Landscape

This is another cutout from a previous collage. Used my oil wax crayons, Caren d"ache neo color I, mainly because the oils didn't work well on the thin newsprint paper. May experiment with oils and cold wax on some others and see if it works.

Thirty in Thirty Day 6 Pink Fungi

The other day I saw some interesting fungi growing on a log in the yard.  Took several shots. This is a closeup.  Worked wet on wet using impasto paints. Oils straight from the tube with no medium.

Thirty in Thirty Day 5 Leaf

Poor poor leaf.... thought this one would be much easier.  Every time I looked at the reference I saw more and more colors and was overwhelmed. Scraped it off several times and decided in the end to work without  the reference. Worked wet on wet with impasto paints.
