Park

My new painting this week is entitled Park.
This painting layers a Hawaiian map, decorative paper, olivine, acrylic media and acrylic on a small stretched canvas.

Linking up this with Artists in Blogland for this week's Show & Tell.

Happy Mid-Week!

Thanks for stopping by my pathetic little start of a web design/blog. I like this piece, almost looks like the map is on a piece of fabric. Glad to connect thru BYW.

I had no idea what olivine was, love the blending of all the materials in your work, very intriquing.

Nice work. I've never really been confident enough to try mixed media. You make it look easy.

I think this is my favorite so far :)

I love the layers in this one... it kind of reminds me of a cross section of sedimentary rock layers which I find very, very cool.
