"Eternal Joy"
This is inspired by a small painting I did years ago called "Endless Song". This one is less abstract, and the colors are lighter. I used thick gesso to build up the hair, wings, and plants for an impasto feel.
I added beads to the headband, belt, and gown. The 3 metal butterflies were the most fun because they fit so well with the colors I had already painted. It's like a nice surprise. Adding a little iridescent paint to the wings, gown, and above the head gave it a nice shimmer. When the painting is viewed from different angles, it really catches your eye.
I can't explain how tickled I was when I added the extra bling, I felt like a kid. I played with many combinations until I was satisfied with this layout. The butterflies actually made me laugh!
