New Work in Progress

I had an out-of-town visitor this weekend but I was able to sneak in some time to paint. Company's gone home now, but I'm trying to stay off the computer too much for what remains of the evening.


I wanted to share what I'm working on really quickly! Here's a small canvas (6in x 6in) that I started yesterday afternoon. Collaged elements from an old book about birds, and acrylic. I just need to add some more details to jazz it up a bit. What do you think?

  1. Hello,
    I find it nice! Why the birds? Did u decide to add other elements or patterns in the background? (What about fading vintage wallpaper guache? - Just an idea...).

    I'm Susanna, here from BYW (after I read what you say about picking the safe option for too many years).
    Sincerely wish you all the best for your art!
    Ciao!

  2. Hi Suze, thanks for stopping by & for the encouraging words! I had an old book about bird species lying around and had the urge to use the images in it. Symbolically, to me, birds signify freedom & possibility/potentiality... I'm thinking of painting some orange oval outlines in the top & right areas. Hadn't thought about fading wallpaper imagery although I can see how that would work!
