Impasto Aurora Borealis, Two Takes

Original Impasto Acrylic
Aurora Borealis
12x12

This is what I do when I am sick, work on paintings that I don't like to make them better.
Below is the painting before I did this.
I guess this was ok too, but I like the mood in the top one.

Watercolour Christmas Card-Making with Faro's Girls Night Out

On Wednesday Night last week Faro's Youth Group for girls made Christmas Cards. Some chose to do Northern Lights and others Sunsets. Or the Winter Moon, a Snowman or a design with waves and bubbles.  I did a short demo of northern lights and a winter moon but told the girls they could paint what they liked. I thought we would have time to make more than one card but 3 hours went by really fast.  
We used  some iridescent watercolour paint, salt in our wet washes, and some used masking fluid.
