Captivated!

I have been going thru all sorts of magazines clipping out images and words that speak to me.

Not questioning why, just kept collecting.  

(On a side note:  I even involved my GRANDchildren, if you want to get to know a little person better this is a great way.)

After I had accumulated quite the collection I went thru them to look deeper as to why I was drawn to them originally.  

It is an interesting discovery!

There was this one photo in particular of a dwelling in India that grabbed my full attention.  It touched me to the very core of my being.  

The colors, the textures, even the layout with the slant.   

Since I like to challenge myself, as an artist,  I decided to try and re-create this.  

I've been periodically working on it for over a week now with plenty more to do.  

There is a lot of drying time required between the stages.  

Here is my work in progress. 

for the final piece.
