New Work Wednesday: Reflect

6/27/2012

My new painting this week is entitled Reflect.

©2012 Mary C. Nasser, Reflect, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas, 5 x 7 inches

Inspired by my recent experience at Osage Arts Community where I had time to reflect and connect to nature...
this painting layers Hawaiian maps, typed text, metal, ephemera, wood icing, acrylic paint and media on a small stretched canvas.

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

I'm so glad you had a reflective retreat time. It's so important to take time to commune with nature.
Your piece is amazing! I haven't heard of wood icing, so will be checking it out.
Have a wonderful week!

Beautiful as always, all your work is so like but in the same time so different, (hope you understand what I mean) love your colors. I love how we can see the layers, Im always afraid of layers so Im very careful with it, but it looks so great in your paingings.

Love the colors you've used this time!! It's always a treat to come here. I really need to reconnect with nature too...but not until this heat wave is over.
