Exploring the “art of flow” technique recently. A kind of negative painting with Gouache paints that was an exercise in harmony with nature and relaxation. Gotta love that flow state!

Collage Fodder: any material used to create a collage or mixed-media art, which can be found, repurposed, or handmade. This includes items like old book pages, maps, packaging, and ticket stubs, as well as handmade items such as painted papers, gelli prints, and stamped or stenciled designs. It is the “food” that artists use to build their creations.

“There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth, remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them; their vast glittering openness, wider than the enormous visible round of the horizon, the racing free saltness and sweetness of their massive winds, under the dazzling blue heights of space. They are unique also in the simplicity, the diversity, the related harmony of the forms of life they enclose. The miracle of the light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slow-moving below, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades of Florida. It is a river of grass.”

Marjory Stoneman Douglas, The Everglades: River of Grass, 1947
