Did you guys get a chance to check out my altered train case yesterday? Here's the link in case you missed it: Mixed Media Monday. Today I'm featuring the same PWP Mixed Media kit but I'm only using the stamp set which can also be purchased separately HERE.
This is an 8x8 canvas called "Fiesta Flowers". Here in San Antonio we just kicked off our two week long Fiesta celebration and bright beautiful colors like these can be seen through out our lovely city. If you'd like to find out more, visit http://www.fiesta-sa.org/ for all the details.
I was inspired by these beautiful stain glass windows in the Royal Melange stamp set. They reminded me of flowers and so these beautiful blossomed right before my eyes.
I started out with my favorite light blue soft body acrylic then stamped the medallions onto the canvas and drew the flowers around them.
The flowers are colored in with a mixture of acrylic and gouache paints. Then I stamped the medallions again on the cardstock included in the April Mixed Media kit, fussy cut and embellished with paint and a white gel pen.
I randomly stamp some of the other stamps in the set and doodled around the edges.
Did you all notice anything different on this painting?!..................No words!! At the SoFlo Market, one of the other artisans suggested that I do some paintings with no words to reach a larger market so I thought it was worth a try. So what do you think?! Do you like sentiments on my work, prefer them without or are indifferent? I'd love to hear from you so please share your thoughts.
