Art for Spring - on an old child's ironing board!

Well, I'm ready for Spring! And it is 7o degrees here today - so why not a springy painting? This is painted with Golden acrylic paints and collaged with scrapbook paper and then sealed. It was the cutest little kid's ironing board but it begged to be painted on. Here are some pics, with close-ups - thanks for looking!

Music in the Air

I did this painting for a show called The Art of Jazz which is happening right now at the Goggleworks in Reading, PA. It was a lot of fun to do since there is collage as well as silver leaf and acrylic paint happening here. The collaged paper in her hair is sheet music - some of which is called Caravan by Duke Ellington. It's 24x24 on wraparound canvas - i'm very happy with it and it was a fun experience to paint! Thanks for looking!

(sorry for the low quality photo - this looks way better in person!)

(also sorry for the double post - some days i think i'm just going a little bit crazy!)

Working on a new piece - Also, Face 22 of Day 22

I'm working on this piece for a show called the Art of Jazz - Drop off is next Monday so i hope to have it done in time and hope it gets in! The "music" that makes her hair is jazz sheet music by Duke Ellington called Caravan. It's collage and acrylic - something new for me...

(yes that is my messy studio in the background!)
