Welcome to my Mixed Media Blog
Today I want to show you this canvas I made during the holidays that i want to call "Hello Sunshine".
Living up north we don't see the sun a lot this time of year. We have daylight from about 10 to 15, but at this part of the country it is usually raining. I think this picture is such a great illustration of the feeling we all have when the sun gives us a short visit.

Initially I wanted this to be orange and yellow, but somewhere during the process it ended up in purple. I started off the background by using Modeling Paste and gesso mixed with sand. The modeling past part did not work for me, so I ended up covering it with crackle paint.
I love cracklepaint. This time it did surprise me by changing the underlying color - but I really liked the gold and green.
The canvas is 30x40 cm and the pictureframe is 10x15cm.
I wish you all a happy new year!
Thanks for stopping by!
