I have a couple more France posts I want to do, but I’m back in school now, already behind, and I’ve had two more short road trips since my last post. I can’t believe how fast time is screaming by.

But I wanted to post these images while the topic is still fresh. Translations Gallery is going to be featuring some smaller works by their gallery artists, so I brought these in last week. These are mixed-media works on paper, matted and backed, and inserted into Clearbags. I will also have some full-size watercolors to post as soon as I get them to the gallery.

    Deidre – These are wonderful. I’m trying so hard to educate the universe that work on canvas (AKA painting) is textile art. I got to train about 25 docents last week and tried to bang that message home.

    These rock (as my 18 year old nephew would say)!
