I’m playing with mixed media this week, and calling this one “Addicted to Love” after Robert Palmer’s famous video.
Of course, my girl here is just a little bit more frumpy than those girls in the video, but frumpy needs attention, too! LOL
I started with a canvas and put different papers on it, including music sheets, patterns, and book pages. Then I added some yellow, red, and orange color.
After that I started painting my girl. She has her hair slicked back and her eyes shut. Perhaps she is grooving out to Robert Palmer in her mind. You never know.
Finally, I added her lips and dress. She’s a bit “thick” around the middle. Then again, aren’t we all? But I like her anyways.

I think she looks fantastic! I love how colorful your painting is 🙂
Cherie says
Aw thanks, Kim! I like using a lot of color.
Eileen says
Aww, just in time for Valentine’s. I love the colors and the way you layered the background. I’m learning the hard way, that’s not as easy as it looks!
Cherie says
I’m learning that, too, Eileen. Backgrounds take a lot of time. June is a good teacher! 🙂
Carol says
Neat! I love the wild creativity of the background. What a great source of of inspiration too.
Cherie says
Aw, thanks Carol. Appreciate that.
Barbara Moore says
Great job! And you’re right Cherie, we’re all a little thick aroung the middle. lol
Cherie says
Thanks, Barbara!
