I’ve decided to take a leap of faith and share some of my art experiments with you. Art, as with many things is a journey and I feel that part of that journey (for me) should include being brave enough to share my pieces.
So, I’m sharing with y’all. Be kind and remember I’m still learning….
All of these pieces were made on old hard back book covers, an idea I gleaned from Kelly Rae Roberts (thank you, ma’am). I used a white gel pen for the curlies around the edges and the bird is drawn on a piece of notecard paper that was sandpapered and then adhered with acrylic medium.
One of my first experiments and one of my more personal. I cut out the phrase, “I want to share my heart and see joy bloom” from an old book.
The woman’s skirt is a collage of papers that I painted and aged. Phrases like, “blessed journey”, “beautiful courage”, “passionate spirit” and “warm laugh” surround the word Mom on the woman’s skirts….that’s how I remember my Mom and I wanted to include her in my art.
This one says, “Even with imperfect wings~ We Fly.” The Hubs likes this one.That glare you see is from the pearlizing mist that I sprayed on it. I like the glow it gives off.
I believe that this one is one of Dad’s favorites as he loves butterflies! (That strip of blue at the top of the picture is part of another painting that this one was leaning against…Oops!)
