Eternal Joy, angel, butterflies, mixed media painting


"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!

Little Critters, azaleas, flowers, mixed media


"Little Critters"


Part of my new series of adding found objects to my paintings: This is actually an older painting that I have reworked. 

First I made some corrections to the painting, and then I added a few beads and gems.  What a delight when the gems reminded me of tiny frogs!  After that, I added some glitter paint to tie it all together.  This one makes me laugh.

The painting continues on the sides, so framing is optional.

A little late, but I was very sick over the past week, didn't get to post these...
I did feel better on Christmas morning, and was so very thankful to get to enjoy my family!

Added lots of glitter paint on the ornaments.  I am enjoying the way they stand out when the light hits them a certain way.  My students are loving it and coming up with some amazing ideas!  I find myself joining them and feeling like a little girl as my youngest children get so excited when we start adding the extra bling.

Hope you had a great Christmas, and that your new year is full of love and many blessings!

Enjoy!
