This is another little gem I created for the 5X7 Art SPLURGE at the Arthouse at the Jones Center in Austin, Texas, opening May 12th. This little critter was living in my flower bed between the iris and hydrangeas...alas he is no more.  I collaged a copy of a Texas map onto matt board, applied 1/2 gesso and 1/2 water to veil the map a little then painted with watercolors and used a wash of ink on my little critter. This one also has the Austin area of the map.

Longhorn

This was a fun little painting, only 5X7, a watercolor on top of a section of Texas map. I copied the map, collaged it onto a piece of matt board then  put a layer of  1/2 gesso, 1/2 water over the map, drew my little longhorn onto the map and painted with watercolors. I made sure Austin was showing as this little gem is going to Austin for the 5X7 ART SPLURGE at the Arthouse. The show opens May 12th.
