This is a painting I did some time ago which is a mixed-media piece. It is a watercolor wash with pastel on top. It is done on 1/2 sheet of Arches 140 # cold-pressed watercolor paper. I enjoy doing watercolors in combination with pastels and sometimes even colored pencils. I think it adds a very interesting element to a painting and in my case encourages me to work a little more loosely, which is a GOOD thing (as "Martha" would say!)Watercolor is my passion. After teaching art in the public schools for 40 + years I now have time to create art for myself. I am a watercolorist who sometimes likes to work in mixed media as well. My journey in art began when I was a small child and continues to this day. Barbara Hart Sailor

I like the waving rhythm of this one, Barb :) It almost makes me want to sway in my seat!
