******************************************

  Enjoyed this weekend working on some "Collaged" Art - Using my Hand-Painted "Arches" Watercolor Paper and a couple of Black&White Patterned Fabrics. Like the way compositions just seem to flow so easily with this technique when all the elements are so flexible and movable-!

Tambourine -Revisited

"Tambourine"  By Mary Maki Rae -2019(c)

(Tangerine Variation- One Only) 

**********************************

I've been experimenting with this Original Silk-Screened Serigraph Print (Limited Edition of 90/19) by Hand-Painting in more detailed variations - this one is the First- available so far - Just using a simple Tangerine Theme.

I really Enjoyed the effect of the Orange Tangerines against that "Cerulean Blue" - It seems to bring the Image more to life. . . . . I have so many more Ideas for this venture - so there will be hopefully more to come - on occasion.

If you may be interested in this Artwork - See more information Here-!

During these Dark and Windy Days of January - I've been working off and on in my small study room - on some New Flower Designs using Gouache paints.

Working on Fall Paintings - Such as this much larger 30" x 30" Acrylic on Canvas of some "store-bought" flowers combined with Autumn leaves and Snowberries -

(parts of which are shown). 

Love the equation of the bright-colored flowers contrasted with the White.
