Well...it's a beautiful rainy day today! Really, though, I do love the rain and the cool of autumn. Warm enough that you don't quite have to bundle up, but chilly enough that you can wear those lovely sweaters.(:
And besides...even if the weather outside is frightful, it's always so nice and cozy inside. ^^
Anyway, I wanted to share one of my more recent mixed-media projects, a little painting and a little collage. So I tore up some sheet music, article pages, and phone book pages, using them for the background, then took a woman's profile and a bunch of flower clippings, glued it all together on a porcelain tile, and went crazy with paint. At the end, I added one of my tracing paper butterflies.
This was the end result:
I hadn't originally intended to make her face a silhouette, but I really like the effect it has...it makes it simpler and helps the bright flowers to stand out.
And the butterfly adds a bit of dimension...(:
What do you think? This is one of my new favorite little pieces....I have it sitting on my bookshelf perched on a miniature easel.(:
Have a lovely day!

Hello Enjoy the rain!
ReplyDeleteI love this Master piece, the collage is too much fun !! its my favorite collage among all of your previous work!
keep posting your creations dear !!
I would love to exchange photos to sketch! Please send me the photo you'd like me to sketch to : Atkersonfamily@aol.com (put Natasha in the subject line). I can either take a photo in the next few days, or you can just pick one of my blog if you like. It would be easier if you use one off my blog, because I may not be able to get anymore photos for awhile.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun!
