I finally finished a painting! This one is about 2 ft x 3 ft. It's all acrylic and there are many layers. Layers that were painted over and over and over again. I couldn't make up my mind and consequently, this painting has gone through many incarnations. Why stars? Why not? It's fun and whimsical and that's really what matters to me.
The first image shows the direction I like to hang it and this next one is my husband's preference. He says it reminds him of looking out the window here in Minneapolis in the winter (barring the absence of the stars and the rainbow of colors). Don't ask me. He said it. Thankfully, it can be turned any way we'd like.
Here's a detail:
I am working on a set of paintings now that I will scan in and make into prints. Photos of my new office? Not so much yet. It's a disaster again because of all the painting. Haha.
This is wonderful, I love layers in paintings... so, this may have taken some time and changed drastically from beginning to end, but ti was worth it! Congrats!
