Art in the Midst of it all.

"The Garden Calls"

This is my newest piece of mixed media. It has layers of tissue paper with flowers in the background, flower and button as well as the sketch/painting of the woman. There is a quote that runs down the piece that says: "Some people like to make a little garden out of life & walk down a path" - Jean Anouth

Size is 8" x 10" on a gallery wrapped canvas. The sides are painted green and have whimsical white and blue flowers on all sides. I decided to try a new technique of sketching with a sketch and wash pencil then seal it and add color to it. Love how soft the effect was. No harsh colors or lines in this piece. I've listed it on ArtFire need to try and get sales up on that site.

She's pensive and that came of out the type of week I've had. My daughter broke her femur and is in an immobilizing cast for 6 weeks, both legs, hips and belly and she's 2.5. Been a hard week but the art turned out beautiful. Out of ashes come beauty.

She is finally done!

ARGGGH! This is a painting that just evolved! It was going to be something completely different but then this beautiful pirate came out from the canvas. She must have a message for someone. Dead men tell no tales but maybe women do! ;) She lost her eye in a vicious battle but was victorious and still drop dead gorgeous! Let her beauty grace your space or place and be the topic of lots of conversations! This beauty is a combo of mediums, it has vintage ephemera underneath all the layers and you can still see the postcard and stamp if you look closely in her neck, it was from 1910. There is also light molding paste in the background. This painting has lots of cool texture as well. The sides are painted black so it's good to go right on your wall.

Painting has been sprayed with an archival spray to keep colors looking their best for years to come. This painting is 20" x 16" and will come with a (COA) certificate of authenticity signed by me.

YAY I'm done!!! I've only been working on this for months and needed motivation! Well I got the motivation I was looking for 2 days ago when a friend asked me to display my art in his restaurant. I didn't have a whole lot since I haven't been painting daily so I needed to finish this and I did!! I really like how it turned out. I would love any feedback you may have. It's a large gallery wrapped canvas and the sides are painted black so you just have to hang it up! If it doesn't sell in the restaurant in the next month it will be going on my Etsy shop, unfortunately I do not have the room for it at home. Thanks for looking!
