Finished!


Here is the finished one. It went back to blue as you can see after I completely had to paint the background again after some horrible blue flowers I painted. You can still see remnants of them. My very favorite part is putting in the added text texture and stenciling in the background. The black and white paper is deli paper that I painted black and stamped with an alphabet stamp.  The flowers were never intended to be green but this is how it turned out. Oh how things change!

    You are just amazing - and you have so much patience! I would have chosen the slashing with the knife myself. But your endurance paid off....beautiful...just beautiful!

    It's lovely - so enjoyed seeing the process - I'm trying to do that more myself - especially as I work on pieces that evolve

    Howdy Martha,
    Congrats! The patterns and textures of this piece are spectacular!

    I love your work SO-O much. You're very inspiring.

    I use deli paper too - for painting and image transfers and a new/old technique called 'decalcomania'. I also use wax paper for decalcomania - with gesso, glue, medium and acrylic paint. Creates stupendous texture.

    Please check out my multi-meida giveaway when you have a moment or 2.

    Peace,
    LuLu

    This is REALLY lovely Martha! Congratulations on following through with all of these great explorations. Understanding that things are not precious allows us to go back and paint right over them in the search for the 'right' answer.
