The Knowledge

The Knowledge is one of my latest mixed media paintings-it has been a long time in the making as it is a large work and I wasn't able to dedicate more than an hour or two at a time to complete it-I actually began this piece last September! I almost hope to live with her for a little while as I have grown quite fond of her over time,but she IS currently for sale in my ebay store HERE if you would like to view further details!

Blue Angel-mixed media painting

This painting is mixed media and is entitled 'Blue Angel'. It is created on 12"x 28" x 1.5" block gallery wrapped canvas (staple free sides) using acrylics,graphite,collaged papers(under-layers) and oil pastel. Lightly glazed with a semi gloss professional artists varnish to protect and seal,the sides are fully painted in soft black so this piece is ready to hang without the need for a frame ( or of course can still be framed should you choose to do so!) Check out my other listings for other original works in this series. A very charming and peacefully elegant work,layered with lovely atmospheric shades,and lightly textural for extra depth-this would make a beautiful addition to your art collection! Signed and dated on the reverse,this is a totally original and unique work. Currently for sale HERE!
