Collage pieces with waterclor and gold paper
Lyrical 12 x 16 watercolor, collage and watercolor pencil © Kate Jackson 2005

Lyrical evolved from a basic painting demonstration followed by adding collage pieces to the demonstration.  I really enjoy working in front of people because I feel like I'm on the EDGE of my creative expression!  Having to PERFORM my art gives it a fun exhilaration I think, and who knows WHAT will come out!!  It was months before I went back to the piece to finish it, but adding the metallic gold papers and pencil marks really gave it a flow I liked and with the old music incorporated in it...it just felt...well, lyrical.
