I had to make a few new pieces for Artfest, plus I need a new canvas bag! I made this bird stencil, my source of inspiration was a gift bag. The bag had a great bird shape on it. Now I look at all the gift bags, some really have good graphics on them.
You never know how a piece is going to turn out. This one began life a dark brown piece of bottom weight fabric that I used as a table cover for painting on. Many layers later, I really ended up liking it. I think the ones that are less precious, I end up liking the best.
I painted this one on really nice piece of tan linen. The images are really crisp on this type of fabric. I brush painted areas, stenciled, stamped, made crayon rubbings, used water soluble crayons and pencils to create the layers. I have to add a few more layers.This is so much fun to me!
I am taking your painting on canvas class at Artfest. These pictures are great! I can hardly wait!

ReplyDeletebeautiful pieces of artwork!
ReplyDeletethese are great! During a recent abstract oil painting class, I realized that the ones that were my "break" pieces ended up being the ones that I love the most! Just goes to show you that art just comes out of us naturally when we don't get in the way of ourselves!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love your style!
