Hi folks!
This is a new piece that I've just completed .
''Sacred Heart of happiness-
-(repeat twelve times daily) ''
Handpainted portrait- she turned out to be kind of 'pop arty-vintage with a Santo thing going on -I THINK! and then I've added very old (from 1918) tears of paper & vintage lace to give texture & a tactile multi dimensional quality to it. I've mixed my colours to give an old plaster and peeling paint type of look to the background. I love to incorporate old vintage & antique 'bits' to my work rather than leave a 'cleancut painting'. I used to paint portraits at one time in my life and got quite bored with its boundaries so now I really enjoy pushing the boundaries so to speak on a finished painting to get a finished mixed media original painting whilst keeping the integrity of the raw painting....haha I know what I mean in my own head anyway lol This one has been sold to a University in the UK.

Hi darling Rainey! I am glad to be back here!!! I received an award and am gathering up delightful darlings to dedicate it too. No need to post it or anything... usually do something different when I get awards like a general thanks, etc. But, trying to actually color in the lines and follow the rules this time... not my cuppa (usually) hee hee. We will see if my less than conformist ways will win out or not. Just don't know ;) Hope you are blessed friend.
I love your layers. They add mood emotion and history.
My Lord Girl you have been busy and this piece is breathtaking. LOVE IT. Hope you have a great weekend. I'm going to have to email you. LOL Too much to write here.
