Summer has come and gone...I spent a lot of time sailing and cruising lake Ontario and brought my watercolours paints, crayons and pencils along to reacquaint myself with the techniques.

Here, at the home studio, I experimented with linking drawings and some of my first acrylics with colours that I particularly liked! The small portraits are inspired by the beauty of Caribbean women, les belles antillaises...

It was fun to collage some papers and ribbons, retouch the watercoloured portrait with acrylics and do some printing to embellish the design.
