This is the mosaic I did last year. I was inspired to use different materials, and I was doing an artist study of Sonia King, who is a great mosaic artist.
This is the sunset painting that I did last year. I worked hard to get each color just right to create a nice gradient, but reflecting on it now, I can see that it still doesn't look perfect. It still looks nice, and the 3 birds in the midground add a nice touch.
