Get it!?! Awh, never mind. My sense of humor is a little dry at times.
I used punches to create the leaves and flowers. I had a great book about the Caribbean that provided the colorful images. The yellow was a spectacular tropical fish.
I only used a spot of glue in the center of each of the punched pieces. The glue made them curl a little which unexpectedly gave them great dimension.
I felt the urge to paint something. The blue and orange combo is something I’m loving a lot more lately.
The texture is dressmakers pattern paper randomly set into the still wet gesso. I love texture!
I created this for my mother-in-law for a Mother’s Day and birthday gift. They have been so helpful with taking the kids so often lately while we are dealing with the changes in my folks life.
Once again I’ve recycled an old painting that I wasn’t completely happy with… I just poured the gesso on and started over. I think this is the 4th time I’ve used this same 18×24 canvas.
The lighting isn’t the best for the photo but I wanted to document it before giving it to her.
