(c)2003 Elton Houck this work goes out to Aussie mate LOREDANA--now living in the land of my nativety--the swamp and gator paradise of the western world--LOUISANA! The work was not done on cyprus bark with swamp tar and gator bile...but was instead done on 10" X 12" Strathmore paper using colored pencils, flet markers, pastels, crepas, china marker, fixative, and acrylic gel medium...Sorry Loredana, I didn't paint it the traditional Louisana way, but I just dind't feel like wading into the swamps to get the right materials...Maybe, next time....
