Vintage lighthouse

The painting above is my first painting, back in 1977.  The artwork below it is something I created earlier today using a technique called gesso transfer that I learned from an online class I'm taking with http://claudinehellmuth.blogspot.com/

The first class project is nothing like this, but I'm still waiting for the supplies to arrive, so I improvised and used what I had because I couldn't wait! 

Let me tell you, this process is rediculously fun and the possibilities are endless.  I'm in heaven.  I can't wait for the next lesson.

I've always loved the look of mixed media art, but never tried it and now I'm hooked.
