Well, Saturday's little scrapfest did NOT deplete my scrap pile!! :) But everyone had so much fun... and that's what counts! We stayed up WAY too late; even my K9-kids are still pooped!
But oh-what fun! So much laughing and sharing techniques... and no worries about the laundry getting done or dusting the furniture or what the husbands are up to...{kickin' back in the chair}
it just doesn't get much better. :)
On to the fun for the day! A few TAC Angels are having a Home Decor blog hop and I decided to show another one of my Art Share projects. This is a mixed media hardboard canvas painting that I sent to Melisa... Cliffside Wave... a little painting-with-paper project.
The photos posted here really do not do this justice. Please click on the photos for a larger view.This piece is a very textured work... I didn't even use a paintbrush until the very end when I applied the copper Glimmer Mist. Nope... I used a paint palette knife and my hands :) Nothin' like gettin' down-n-dirty with art! I had a blast working on this and definitely intend to create more!
Paper: Amberley Grace SWIC & CardstockInk: Reflection Blue, Cote d'azure, Ballet Blue, & Water Lily Green Palette re-inkers
Other: pre-primed hardboard canvas, gesso (Liquitex), pewter metallic & white acrylic paint, structure gel & pumice (Galeria), Copper Glimmer Mist, palette knife

Barb - I look at this and think I'm at the beach! What talent you have. You'll have to teach me how to do this some day. rita w
This is so cool and BEAUTIFUL!!! What an artist you are!
This looks really difficult and it looks like something you can sell at a cafe! You are so talented...I wouldn't know where to begin on this project. Love it!
I really like this. As a lover of mixed media, I understand how difficult it is to achieve such a wonderful bg. Awesome job, Barb.
Wow this is sooo cool! This wave has such depth... the texture is fantastic and you really have captured the ocean with your colors! : )
This is beautiful! I've never played with paints and such. It does feel rather "beachy". And I love the texture!
Love the texture & color of this piece! Very soothing to the eyes!

I am blown away, Barb! This is simply stunning...an absolute work of art! Wow! I love the colors, the texture, the depth...it's awesome! I can almost hear the ocean waves crashing against the shore! Outstanding job!
This is so neat! Great texture, and the colors are amazing too!
