I started my artist career as a watercolor artist. I did this watercolor about (gulp) 8 or 9 years ago. I've done a series of these Tree of Life paintings, all 22x30" on watercolor paper, embellished, collaged and sewn on the paper. The originals are long sold...but I do have some prints (don't ask me. I really need to get it together and put them on etsy) Anyway, you can see the others here and all my Mexican themed work here. There were a couple more, but I didn't get photos. I love doing these, though they take weeks and weeks of work. Point of bringing this up, is that I'm going to teach a 6 hour workshop on this, at the Mingei Museum in Balboa Park (San Diego). I don't know the exact date, but I'll keep you posted.
Jane, Tree of Life is awesome! But I want more detail, please. How large is it? Did you do it with the same technique you teach in the Studio Journal class? I love it!
