I took this picture the other day. I didn't realize how odd this strawberry was until I looked at the shots afterwards. it looks like a little present or package. I did this using Winsor and Newton Calligraphy ink and Daler Rowney Acrylic Ink. I love these two products. They work very much like watercolor but dry more quickly and are even less forgiving than watercolor.

"When Tears Collide I can See His Soul"

Unfortunately some things can not be experienced through photographs. It is difficult to see but in this painting I have used metallic paint. In the right light it shimmers. It is that affect that reminds me of tears. When I do an abstract painting I feel it is a record of my thoughts and ideas over a period of time. A look into my soul in a way. Just pure thought, images and emotions.

Acrylic Ink On Stonehenge Paper

My ink drawing was done from a photo that I had taken on my travels in China. It is a closeup shot of the marble details on the staircase outside the Imperial Palace in Beijing. The reason there are stairs on either side of the central design is when the Emperor was transported through the grounds of the palace he would have been carried. His attendants would be on both sides of his throne and they would walk the stairs and the Emperor would be carried above the dragon designs. When you visit the Imperial Palace you are over whelmed by the enormity of the place and all the intricate details...so much to see!!!!!
