I’m working on another mixed media painting this week, and yes, in case you’re wondering, I’m totally hooked the medium. Remember when I didn’t feel comfortable with it? Now, I love it so much I can’t even remember what I did before it.
Anyways, first comes the papers. I collected some I really like for different reasons, and put them on a canvas. (Don’t you love how you can see the dog treats I have in that cup? My dog always seems to find a way into my blog in one way or another. I keep the treats there because she’s always by my side when I’m painting.)
I’ve been painting a lot of “strong women” pictures, but this time I wanted to do some flowers. Here’s a secret about me: I love flowers. I love them so much, but I can’t grow a thing. At least I can paint a few.
Teal is one of my favorite colors. Can you tell? I also added yellows and orange.
To finish, I added some black around the borders.
To finish off, I wrote the words “faith love hope joy faithful kind” on the rim.
I’ve always had a real soft spot for a still life! That’s very cool that you’ve decided to start selling these too…are you selling prints or the originals? Or both?
Just prints and edge wrapped canvas reproductions.
Cherie, this may be my favorite. Not sure, I love your strong women too. Anyway, I’m pinning this
Thanks for the pin (and the kind words.)
You rock.
Just wonderful Cherie! I do believe I’ll Pin it too!
