New Work Wednesday: Spring Sihouette

3/6/2013

My new painting this week is entitled Spring Silhouette.

©2013 Mary C. Nasser, Spring Silhouette, mixed-media/acrylic on canvas, 11 x 14 inches

This painting layers collage, acrylic paint and media, with StencilGirl stencils on a stretched canvas.
Below is a detail of the work:

This painting is a sample project I made for Spring Silhouette Canvases with Collage that I'll be teaching April 20th at For Keeps Sake.

We'll celebrate spring by creating spring silhouette canvases with collage, paint, and StencilGirl stencils (of course)! Work at your own pace to create a unique work of art…a diptych…or even a triptych!
Everything you need will be available in class. Just bring a friend if you’d like!

Can't wait for daylight savings time this weekend and Spring and seeing more rabbits running about!
“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.”
― John Steinbeck

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