Free to Fly

Just a quick one today. Here is a 5"x5" mixed media piece I did.  Yes, stencils were used (stencil aliens you know!), modeling paste, butterfly images, lots of acrylic paints.

 

 

I love the colors. They aren't my usual combination but I think I may use them again.

Do you have a favorite color combination?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

 

 

A Birthday Tea Party

This card is for a first birthday. I get asked to make birthday cards where I incorporate their picture in the scene. I actually love doing it. It takes me quite a few days to figure out what I want to do. It's nice when there is not a theme or a favorite character they like because them I'm free to do anything. 

I have tons of vintage images and found this one of a little girl and two of her friends having a tea party in a birds nest with curious little fairies watching.  I added the birthday girl's head and extra leaves in scene and around the card. I print two copies of the scense and cut out characters or other images to add for dimension. I always leave the inside blank so they can write their own birthday greetings.

Moon Light in the City

This piece is not finished yet but I thought I would show it to you. I've been working on this piece for quite a while. I add color here and there then hang it up for days before I do anything else. It's hanging in my art room again and who knows when I will finish it.

 

 

This canvas started with the city and lots of bright colors then I added the trees with modeling paste. After that I spilled dark paint on it and it just worked.  The moon and the taller tress were added and I just kept going with it.  It will hang in my art room until I see something else I want to add or decide it's finished.

 

How many paintings to you have waiting to be finished?

I will be living in fleece until Spring!

 

Keep warm and cozy!
