Back to the Art

My hands are looking more like normal again - paint, ink and wax spattered.  But it felt good to get back to creating something.  I took some art materials with me on vacation, but as usual I didn't touch them.  I always imagine that I'll want to sit and look reflectively at the scenery and sketch, but it never happens. I'm usually too deep into a good book when I'm on vacation.




This is on a 2" thick canvas, not sure why I didn't take a picture from the side, I like how the sides turned out.  Lots of layers, collage materials, and wax. Can you see the face?

  1. Lovely, lovely work - I love chickens/cockerels and these are so beautiful and subtle. I think I see a face in the top right corner. I love your textures and patterns, and of course, your metal bits and bobs!
    I never get art done on holiday either - I have this romantic image of me on holiday in front of an easel wearing a long floaty dress and painting a beautiful scene! This would never happen as I don't own an easel or a long floaty dress - but I like to dream!

  2. Fabulous! I thought I saw the face in the lower left. Probably won't be able to tell until I see it in person.

  4. I love it Terri....

    I thought I could see two faces... one in the top right at first (like Diana) and then slap bang in the middle....

    I'm glad your hands are 'back to normal' !!!!

  7. I can't see the face ;( BUT I can see the beauty! Another gorgeous piece!
    And I totally agree - the only way to want to do art on your vacation is to NOT bring your supplies. Then of course you would want to do what you can't without them . . . the muse is so fickle! xoxo
