Rio I and II

The last of the three companion pieces to Rio Rincon are finally complete. I had to do a lot of experimenting on this one trying to cover all of those heavy black lines. Since scanning into the computer there are still a couple places that may need attention, but for the most part I am satisfied with it and ready to move on. Having said that I think I will outline the tee pee in black to be consistent with the the other canvas. Thank so much to those of you that commented and advised, I followed what you suggested and it saved me a lot of time. Notice the desert "UFO" in the center of the canvas is now a basket of flowers?

There are a few changes to this canvas too. I didn't want the heart shaped cloud to have the black outline so covered it with ribbon floss to match the sky. The photo actually picks up some of the black outline in the mesa that is more camouflaged in the actual piece. Camera's are funny that way, showing lots of lines and shadows and, in my case, adding pounds. :( I am glad to have finished these and will next show them framed.
