En Pointe: Day 26 of Colorful & Original Off Hand

I really wanted to try more ballet shoes...and mix it up a bit.  So, with a little help from Mr. Righty I managed to make some boards with this old sheet music on it.  (Actually it is amazing how much you can do without the help of the dominate hand when forced to...feet, elbows and available other objects do come into play!)

En Pointe

10 x 5 mixed media on board

$30.00 - frame and shipping additional

I started to leave it at pencil and well, you know me, more is more, so I just kept adding and in the end I had used acrylic, pencil, pen, pastel and collage.  Mixed Media.  It is all sealed up nice and tight and needs no glass.  Enjoy a few more pics....hubby home and wants a play date so I am off the computer!!

Send me an email if you know someone who would enjoy this small piece...no time to link to a sale spot yet!

Seeking Support

I like experiments and this one grew naturally out of my study of rocks and the graphite and acrylic techniques I used to paint them.  The photo on my easel is one I took while visiting a garden center that has lots of natural areas of native growth.

I wanted to simplify the composition and concentrate on the detail of the bamboo.

The title?  Well, when you work for a long time on something you begin making up

stories in your head about the personalities of your subject matter...

regardless of whether they are inanimate or not.

I eventually realized that the two bamboo on the right were a "couple," or

at least wanted to be, and they were asking, pleading. "seeking the support"

of the family on the left...no political puns intended!

See the spokesperson on the left...leaning in to make his (!)

point very clear?  What happens next?

(Sorry about the wonky photo....I must have been leaning

too far in one direction...)

not on etsy yet...contact me if interested
