June 16

Another day of hot weather 100+ yesterday, I believe that's three or four in a row, Must be Texas.

Spending the day reworking collage 10 and start a few more,as well as going to visit my brother and his wife at my mom's house. Spent a lot of time yesterday cutting rice paper and tracing film for collaging elements. These work for me when try into introduce a lightening element and quality instead of paint the as wrinkle and give texture. Tissue paper is also great because it dissolves and gives more texture and if stained or pre-colored gives the element of staining.This gives a soft ethereal quality that I like. I am trying with some success to emulate the qualities I have seen in Gerald Brommers work, he is elegant in his work with watercolor and collage. I'll show them when I finish here or in the collage of my website.

Sorry about yesterday. kind of got carried away. You would think that after 60 I would learn to control my tendency to complain and berate those I don't agree with. Well thats another reason for my blog.
