Yet another vision waiting to be born. I literally grabbed my pad and blurted this out. More to come as I'm feeling the black, gold and silver combo. Soon to be on canvas!

The Texture Touch

Acrylic & Gesso on Canvas Board.
For about a month I had this vision floating around in my head. I intended to just paint it but felt it needed to stand out more. Using gesso gave me the volume I wanted. Love feeling it.

'It's Personal'
60 x 50 cm
Mixed Media on Canvas
This piece represents something I needed to get out of me. I started it back in May by just painting the canvas in a favorite colour and it progressed from there. It's been months in the making. All glitter work done by brush in hand! No magic pen business!!! I piped coloured gesso to separate sections and used gold and silver leafing which are all varnished for protection. Just the left side of the painting is varnished in high gloss for effect. Really a must see in the flesh. I'm proud of this work because of it's symbolic meaning.
