Haven't been painting much, but I started work on another mixed media piece the other day. While I was waiting for part of it to dry, I started playing with a piece of paper that I had brushed gesso on a while ago. Part of it looked good so I doodled these trees on the parts I liked and made a dyptych of it. Both are about 4" x 10" acrylic on paper. Just a little fun, nothing serious!
I really like these. Sometimes when we do it just for fun, we surprise ourselves. A good lesson to be less serious at times...
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I too have been playing with Gesso. In fact i spilled some in the art store..haha. I realy like this "nothing serious"
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melanie! Funny about spilling the gesso, did you have to buy it?
ReplyDeleteSusan, that's so true isn't it? Thanks for looking!
ReplyDeleteI really like this piece ...the simplicity of the subjects and the wonderful texture of the gesso!
