December's #2 Tack Down Tuesday
Seeking Peace and Solitude,
8 x 8 collage on 140 lb. watercolor paper, matted all sides 2" ready to slip into a 12 x 12 frame.
Materials
used:
Stained
tissue papers, altered National Geographic magazine with Citra Solv, printed
drawing papers, old book pages and acrylic glazing and altering. Heat fused to
140 lb watercolor paper, polymer medium and UV stain varnish are applied.
This
time of year with the temperatures dropping and the limited daylight it has me
seeking to find that peaceful state and some quiet time or solitude. I had
started off with something totally different on surface of this watercolor
paper, but it wasn’t me it was some inspiration I saw from others works and I
tried to emulate it but it wasn’t happening so I centered myself and allow what
comes natural to come out and be my authentic self and that had me feeling more
at peace and centered. The color blue when presented right can bring the
essence of serenity and I feel I captured that here with this simple
composition in value, line and shape and the directional guidance of one doing
their own seeking.
$50.00 plus tax and s/h
Definitely has the feel of this time of year! Cool, calm colors. Very nice!
