Getting texture to your canvas.......






I really like the way this is coming out. I've gotten some good texture to the canvas. I did that by first collaging a layer of heavy papers cut into 2-3 inch pieces and then 2 layers of torn tissue papers. You get 2 distinct textures which give the paint many hills and valleys to flow in. It also allows the antique medium to really show off the texture.
This is my version of the ''Tree of life." Its primitve with a modern twist.

TA DA!!!!! I'm Done.......


Finally finished the last piece of the commission to Razzberies in Hickory N.C. I am so happy with all the work. It should make an awesome wall display. I wanted to hang them all up on my wall and photograph them, but I don't think my husband would like all those nail holes. I still may do it. It ended up being 12 pieces and all have been titled. Here is the last piece. I call it Bless this Nest.
Now what is next? I really want to do some mixed media and something Frida . I watched the movie twice this week and i'm obssessed to paint her. She was so beautiful.
