"BE HEARD"

Third coat...the first was a painting i hated, yes hated, ha! the second layer was yellow paint, spray and washed, the next was white paint washed over the previous and then the start of these stenciled flowers and designs, using paint and modeling paste...

frame


frame had to be done along side of painting...this is close up of the modeling paste...



i pasted words from magazines and papers all over, but placed them kind of so it looked good, just as they were...kinda' ?


used golden acrylic glazing liquid (gloss, although, no gloss shows in finished piece at all) and NAPLES yellowpaint mixed, and lightly swooshed, clearing letters and words i wanted to remain...

start of her face

a video would be easier on the eyes, but alas, i don't know how...











cheese cloth up close










Framed 19" X 34" with the frame
this is my second mixed media painting that i felt i gave birth to...so many layers, so many days, so many weeks, so much STUFF (good stuff)...

thinking at some points during the process, "oh i love this, oh no this wrecks the whole thing, oh my goodness, such bravery,,,oh goodness, nah, just do it"...!



oh the questions i asked, oh the places i went, and then OH NO, i am spent,
oh, the delight of paper, paste and paint...

such joy to clothe and stick on ink!

oh, the places i went, never to aspire...

that i could ever be this much ON FIRE!

I AM I SAY...

and OH, i shall BE HEARD!



A MOST HAPPY SUNSHINY SATURDAY TO ALL MY BLOGGING BUDS! XO
