My new painting this week is entitled Compasses.

This painting layers a Hawaiian map, ink drawing, metal, mica, vintage text and illustration, and acrylic on a small stretched canvas.

Happy Mid-Week!

Mary - just to reiterate what Dana & Jen have said before me, this is a fantastic piece! There's something about it that makes you want to keep looking at it (probably the composition and colour combination, I'm sure someone who is versed in the golden ration laws could explain...).

keep up the wonderful work!
