New Work Wednesday: Hundred Miles

12/26/2012

My new painting this week is entitled Hundred Miles.

©2012 Mary C. Nasser, Hundred Miles, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas, 6 x 8 inches

This week's painting layers a vintage survey map, text, mica and acrylic paint on small stretched canvas.
This painting incorporates another ambiguous map and combines both hard and soft edges.

And...
Friday afternoon, I learned that 2 of my mixed-media paintings sold at Jacoby Arts Center's Holiday Art Show! As a cash and carry show, patrons are able take home purchased art immediate to give as a gift for the holidays or to keep as a gift to themselves! So grateful to my patrons for giving original art for the holidays! If you're in the area, the show runs through January 5, 2013.

3900: sold at Jacoby Arts Center

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Hope you're having a wonderful week!

I love all the texture in your painting- do you use a palette knife, brush or another tool when you paint?

Congratulations on your sales! I know how encouraging it is when someone loves your art enough to purchase it as a gift or for themselves. I got some of those map stencils for Christmas (ordered them myself of course!) Love your work

I love Hundred Miles. The texture and colors give it a really organic feel that complements the survey map nicely and gives a dimension to the text "hundred miles". Congrats on your sales!
