Day 5 12" x 12" Acrylics and acrylic ink on acrylic paper. The sunlight landed on this vine beside the path that caught my attention. 'The Vine.'
Welcome to my blog! I have been a visual artist for many years and I have worked with a number of different mediums. Currently my focus is on acrylics, mixed media and abstract. I enjoy the atmospheric conditions and try to recreate the effects with texture and paint on canvas. Thanks for stopping by.

Day 4 JVMcLean
Day 4 12 x 12 Acrylics on acrylic paper. I did a couple of thin washes for the background. Then I used thick lines and more washes to bring the leaves forward. Take it or leaf it!

Joan V. McLean Day 3
Day 3 Simply Stated 12" x 12" acrylics on acrylic paper. Out on my walk this morning I noticed some leaves are on the edge of turning or have already. This little sketch is simply stating the fact that change is on the way.

Day 1 Welcome to the 30 in 30 Challenge. I'm so excited to be participating once again. It is a busy time but will try to post everyday.
12" x 12" Acrylics and prismcolor marker on acrylic paper. I did a couple of washes for a water colour effect and used the marker to draw on the silhouette of the Queen Anne's Lace.
