I'll show you some pictures I just took up at the Mendocino Coast Botanical garden up in Fort Bragg, California. If anyone wants to see photos of my own garden I'd be happy to post some of those too.
That looks like an awesome place to wander around. Very cool.
My paintings. Mostly acrylic, one of them has crayons too!
This one was my first...
This one is my favorite. I super-glued Crayola crayons to a canvas...a big one...lots of them, and then used my girlfriends hairdryer to melt them. Then I added some matching acrylic paint. lots of fun.
Wow! So colorful. I like the first and second ones the best but I suspect the one made with the actual melted crayon would be something else again in person. Did you leave any bits of the crayon intact and then trailing off?
The crayons made me think of some baskets I saw at an art gallery near Boston done by Jane Maestre. I liked this one best.
