Greeting card design time. I have to actually create the design with paper, paint, my photos and words before I can use software to refine. I’m not much for spending hours working on the computer (since I do that five days a week at the J.O.B.) so this way of creating may be a bit slower process than scanning and designing in Illustrator, but it’s more fun for me. I’ve got a lot of work to do before this line of cards is ready for prime time. 🤓
I’ll never stop painting abstracts, but my soul craves variety. Getting ready to transfer my sketch to the vintage map covered panel for another in the mountain gal series. . . . #create #abstractart #contemporaryart #painting #fineart #coloradoartist #abstractexpressionism #color #pink #red #gray #justpaint #InstaArt #mixmedia #livelifewonderful #amariecreates #mixedmedia #collage
