I like working with continuous line, broken line, contour line, and outline. I had fun creating these weird characters on shiny striped paper - I used Bic, Sharpies and Sakura pens, and also some Sharpie Paint pens.

About Me
- artistatwork
- Tsawwassen (Delta), British Columbia, Canada
- Check out my Website!!! www.kathyswift.com for a more detailed look at my paintings.
Welcome to my blog!!!
I am exploring some new dimensions to my love of art and creating. I have joined some community projects, and yahoo groups that work with Visual Journalling, Artist Trading Cards, Bookmaking, Mixed Media Trends and other related areas. I have been working for the past year on creating a whole lot of work that is different from my painting, but very much related. In fact, it has helped my painting tremendously to have ventured off in a few new directions. I stay up late at night playing with everything I can find, and responding to everything in front of me in a new way.
I look forward to sharing these adventures with you in my blog.

Hi Kathy -
Saw your message on the board at arttechniques (I'm new there) and thought I'd take a peek. Welcome to blogland !!
Your work is very, very good. It is amazing what you do with pen, ink and marker.
I really love the Simplification pieces and the abstract painting pieces.
Look forward to seeing more of your work !!
:-)
