Here you can see a page I have been working on in my Dylusions Journal. I started it a while ago and used my non-dominant hand when my thumb was more painful than it is now and I left it unfinished.
I had some skin tone paint left on my palette paper from my last painting so I used it to paint her face and just carried on until it was finished.
I know I probably shouldn't say this about my own work but I LOVE this. I love her expression, I love her hair and I love the white space. I am really pleased with how it turned out.
It is made up of acrylic, book paper, painted papers, corrugated card and I applied gesso to the background with a palette knife to create texture.
I hope you like her as much as I do, thanks for visiting. x
your faces are always so wonderful and i love this page! i esp love the bits and pieces that make up her body and dress. the whole page has a wonderful crispness and light to it. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteHi fuzzy
ReplyDeleteYou are right to love it and why not say so.
I especially love the hair and her expression
I hope to start doing more stuff like this too

You can say whatever you like about your own work and I absolutely agree. Love the bookstores showing through and the delicacy of her features. X

An excellent image Carol and bravo to you for saying you like it!. Of course you should, she's wonderful! I espcially like her hair :o)
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely - great personality shining through! Hugs, Chris # 15
ReplyDeleteI DO like her as much as you do! ♥♥♥ (and I think it's perfectly okay to say you love something you've made!)
ReplyDeleteI love the designs, you are so talented.Happy Anniversary Karen #101
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you are pleased with this. I agree with you about loving white space. There are times when it is good to let the images stand on their own rather than having a background overtake them. This is certainly one of those times.
ReplyDeleteI love your unusual design, use of collage in a different way, and your lovely drawings, especially her gorgeous curly hair.
You inspire me to be more open and adventurous with collage, which I mean as a compliment.
Thank you also,sweet lady, for your comment on my post and the suggested web-site which I will look up. The doc has discounted worries about crumbly spine now, but not made her mind up about what it is. At least pain seems to be masked a lot by the pills. You are very kind and I thank you so much.
You have every right to be pleased with your work ... she is so serene. Perfect.
