Blue Ice


Blue ice or frozen pond or blue tree? I can't decide, but it does look like some kind of winter-scape. This is what happens when the tiniest bit of blue paint drips off of one surface and lands on another; a new technique is born! Sounds good, but what really happened is that I can't stand to waste paint so I grabbed the first piece of paper that was sitting on my counter and allowed the paint to dribble from a sheet of painted metal onto it. The paint ran in all directions and when I helped it along I decided that this piece of scrap paper was the highlight of the day! The metal turned out fair. Reminder: don't throw away scraps of paper! This one had a blue watercolor wash on it along with dry brushed gesso.
