Lesson 12 from Pam Carriker's book Creating Art At The Speed of Life introduced me to an interesting new word. Ephemera - written or printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved, junk mail, receipts, brochures, etc. I found an article about the world of color and pages from my old passport to create this page. I liked how monochromatic and cloudy this page turned out. The key to this one was lots of layers of diluted washes of gesso diluted with gel medium.

The quote on the bottom left page is from Renoir. It says, " An Artist must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master; Nature."
