Mixed Media Monday - BLESSINGS

BLESSINGS

Collage on Canvas - 8x10

BLESSINGS is a mixed media collage using an eclectic mix of papers, images and stitching mounted on an 8x10x1/2 inch canvas. Images were carefully selected to create a unique piece of art invoking a feeling of nature and life's blessings. Random stitching was added to the collage along with an old button and the final piece was mounted on fabric and a gallery wrapped canvas that was covered in hand painted tissue paper. The final piece is ready to display by hanging on a wall, propped on a shelf or on placed on a small easel.

KOI POND - Off to a New Home!

KOI POND

Watercolor Batik - 12x18

I am excited to say that my original watercolor batik painting, KOI POND is off to it's new home in Maryland. Thank you Nikolai!

Watercolor Batik is similar to the age old fabric batik but I paint on fibrous rice paper instead of cloth. Melted wax is painted onto the areas that I want to stay white and then I start painting in the lighter colors of the painting. The wax is then used to protect these lighter areas - the process of painting and waxing is repeated until the entire piece is covered. The wax is then ironed off and the result is always a unique and creative piece of art.
