Create a Mandala/Geometric Design in the Oil Pastel Smudge technique! Happy Fall Everyone!10/19/2018 Perfect with l leaves as your theme. How to: Start at the top, like 12 on a clock. Next go to 6, 3 then 9. Go round and round and soon you have a great Mandala or Geometric design! Easy peasy!  Being in nature is awe inspiring. This work below will be in the Silent Auction taking place during the event. Visual Artists, Musicians, Poets and Performing Artists will be dispersed among the gardens of fall color. Hope you can make it by to support the May Arboretum Society. Come by my booth, say Hi and see the many images of "Beautiful Birds" I was inspired to create for the event! Happy Fall Everyone!  A finished landscape is shown on the left and the template used shown on the right. If you were to use the same template with the same cut out images your landscape would look completely different! That is what I love most about the technique. We are all different, we all see our world, and portray it in a different way! Smudge on my friends!  I have been invited back to share my "Smudge" works with West Elm Reno and I have some new products that I will be offering.12 Month 2019 Calendars of the Nevada Desert and NEVADA Landscape Magnets.
