Figurative
The Ballerina
My figurative series is set on small 5"x5" wooden canvas, started on repurposed thick postcards. Acrylics and glaze, added dimension, depth and shine.
The Twins
Small figurative series, 5"x5"x1" repurposed postcard mounted to wooden canvas. Acrylic painting with layers of glaze for dimension, depth and shine. On my quest to reuse-repurpose-recycle I came up with this figurative series using postcards that were about to be discarded.
Boot Shopping
Boot Shopping was created as part of a small figurative series where the main piece of art is created on a repurposed, recycled or reused material. For this I used a postcard that was about to be discarded. Acrylic Painting with layers of glaze add dimension and depth as well as shine.
Wind Walk
"Wind Walk" was created as part of a small figurative series where the main piece of art is created on a repurposed, recycled or reused material. It's a study of abstract figures. For this I used a postcard that was about to be discarded. Acrylic Painting with layers of glaze add dimension and depth as well as shine.
Sister Sister
Another piece in my figurative series, small work. 5"x5" repurposed postcard mounted to wooden canvas. Acrylic paints and layers of glaze add dimension, depth and shine.
Mama in the Wind
Small figurative series, 5"x5"x1" repurposed postcard mounted to wooden canvas. Acrylic painting with layers of glaze for dimension, depth and shine. Combine multiple pieces for a dramatic effect. I'm on a quest to repurpose, reuse and recycle into more functionality.
I Mean Business
"I mean Business" was created as part of a small figurative series where the main piece of art is created on a repurposed, recycled or reused material. For this I used a postcard that was about to be discarded. Acrylic Painting with layers of glaze add dimension and depth as well as shine.
So it Is
So it is is another small work in my repurposed figurative series. It's a small 5"x5"x1" piece created on repurposed postcard and mounted to wooden canvas. It is an acrylic painting with layers of glaze that add not only shine but dimension and depth. A study of abstract figures.
