I just wasn't happy with my monitor lizard - so do over! Gesso is an artist's best friend - (at least one of them - I have a quart and a half in my studio!) So - I gessoed over the lizard and started adding more torn dictionary pages and stenciling - until this little lady made me happy. Some acrylic paint stenciled; some Silks; a little Inka Gold and a swarovski crystal later I liked her much better. Might have a little more work to do on her - and she did get to keep a flower! By the way - my first blog post was September 23rd 2011! I am a year old! Thanks for visiting - love all your comments!
Happy birthday! I think you should do a lizard series, love this one, too. And yes, I need my gesso more than lipstick these days! Valerie
ReplyDeleteHmm - gesso as lipstick - would that cover up things I don't want on my face? Interesting idea - thanks Valerie. You are always an encouragement to me.
DeleteThe colors and patterns you used in your beautiful lizard are so much fun. Congratulations on your anniversary. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Arnoldo
DeleteHa ha... She is one fancy lizard all done up with her flowers and crystals! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThe lizard that was found in a Beaufort SC backyard was not wearing a necklace I think - a little artistic license! Thanks for stopping by Molly.
DeleteCongratulation to your Blog birthday. I couldn't find your blog in the past (there is no blog address in your google profile) but today I researched a little bit and found you. I'm so happy. Thank you so much for all your comments on my Blog. It's so a good feeling that other artists love my work.
ReplyDeleteDynamic views uses Google+ - I do think my link is out there. If it wasn't so much work for me - I would opt out of dynamic view - too hard to find and change things!! Thanks for your comment. I really don't scrapbook anymore - but your work is art! Not at all what I thought of as scrapbooking "back in the day" - LOL
