My first finished piece "Día de los muertos" I had already shown here. These two pieces that I'm showing you today are based on the two watercolors I showed you here. I'm not quite sure whether either of them is already finished.
The Mermaid's Dream, 7.5"x7.5" mixed media painting
In both paintings I wanted the area where I sprinkled salt into the wet watercolor uncovered, but most of the rest got covered by strips of tissue paper that I had painted in class. I added photos (printed out on regular copy paper), torn book pages and stamps. I quite like the result, but I feel that especially the "sleeping child" is still unfinished. It will help to step away from it for a bit, and then when I come back to it I hope to see what else needs to be done.
Sleeping Child, 7"x7" mixed media painting
This is today's contribution to Art Every Day Month, and I'm also linking to Paint Party Friday. I haven't joined PPF for a few weeks because of lack of time - I wouldn't have had the time to visit you. This weekend, however, looks much better.

you really got a lot from that class and the work is fantastic... I love classes that inspire you so much but I think your best work is still to come now you have time to play with all those ideas.... can't wait to see what your work develops into xx
These are beautiful.
Love the colors and the composition!
Love The Mermaid's Dream and all its layers!
Happy PPF!!

I love the colors in both of these. Lovely work!
Love the layers and beautiful bold color!
Never used the salt technique yet, but I might since you've come up with an interesting texture I'd like to try. Great collages! Patsy from

These are beautiful! I am so inspired by the depth that you have created with mixed media! The water quality that you achieved in The Mermaid's Dream is so moving.
Carola, these are just beautiful!
Sending you wishes for a wonderful weekend!
These are both so very beautiful...you are an amazing talent. I wish a class like this was offered near me, I think it would be so much fun to attend.
Hi Carola, Wow these are both very beautiful, the second one in particular has something very special going on! It reminds me of the intuitive collage work I like to do for Full Moon Dreamboards - Jamie Ridler. I'm thinking of asking people to join me on-line some time in the future to put up their own intuitive collages it is amazing what comes to the for! I hope you will join me?

such interesting collages; I can well imagine how you will miss the comeraderie within the class environment.
a beautiful style of art
I love the way you make art, it's gorgeous. The mermaid one is stunning with all the layers and colors. The sleeping baby is always precious, gotta love how sweet they are when sleeping.
A art class sounds fun and so helpful. I'm currently taking a online art class and love it.
Have a good weekend.
What beautiful work. I love the mix of colours and patterns and the light and dark.
thank you for visiting me & for your words of encouragement. xox

Lovely mixed media pieces. Good for you for doing AEDM - I knew I wouldn't have time this year.
So pretty how the layers work together! :)
Lovely!
I do love the look. This is great that you are putting together what you lean in class and sharing it. Thank you. Blessings, Janet, PPF
