Wonderfulness!
Watercolors, oh how I love you..
there is a certain magic in the outcome.
Sometimes, not so good,
but other times it transforms exactly as you imagine..
And I thank you.
Finding Balance..and we all need that, right?

Collage for Samhain
Sugar Skull

Fabulous theme for the week!!
Auryn Ink!
What a find!
I've tried many watercoloring apps on my IPad,
there are quite a few in the App Store.
It's such a useful tool to while away the hours when actual watercolors and water are just not practical..( planes, trains, automobiles).
I recently stumbled upon this wonderful thing and it is a keeper!
~Inexpensive-read cheap!
~Easy to use
~Build your own palatte
~With a stylus it actually feels like paint
~Choose wet or dry brush
~Add more "water" to puddle paint
~Change brush size-tip shape and bristles
~Choose your canvas type
~Add layers
You should buy it, really, you will love it!

Who doesn't love painted ladies"?
A look at a few of my pages, drawn, painted and collaged.
Hurricane Sandy paid a visit to Rhode Island....
thankfully in my village the damage was minor...
trees down, power out, flooding, flooding, flooding...
Unfortunately the south facing beaches took a direct hit and the damage there is substantial. Life is slowly returning to normal. Have a glimpse at the storm's impact in my coastal village.
Storm moving in at the town beach
Wickford under water at high tide with storm surge
Sea creatures left behind on the streets after the flood waters receded.
Main parking lot under water with each high tide for a few days...
We are all safe and sound but much clean up to do.
This is what my driveway looks like...I'll be raking..
My heart goes out to all those who've lost so much along the East Coast.
