This is a little 8" x 10" mixed media on canvas that I created for Monday Artday prompt sleep. It is painted with acrylics and embellished with paper flowers and I added a little button flower pot to give it a bit of bling!
She is actually based on a little drawing I did over a year ago for IF - Camoflague. Take a look:

Acrylic on wrapped canvas 8" x 10"
The topic this week for Monday Artday is Tropical Jungle. This is my entry titled 'Taking Flight".
I based this painting on a little drawing I did about a year ago when I first started trying my hand at some art. I wanted to get the carefree and fun sense of completely letting yourself go and feel free in the moment. It is also really exciting to remind myself how far I have come wtih my art and what a wonderful journey it has been.

Lest We Forget - Mixed Media on canvas 8" x 10"
It was great timing for this weeks Monday Artday - War, as it is anzac day in Australia tomorrow. For those of you that don't know what that means, it is the day each year that the Australians and New Zealanders remember all of the service men and women that have fought in wars.
I wanted to show all of the faces of war so I began this piece with images of war collaged onto the canvas. Next a thing layer of acrylic and some pen work to create the house and the figures were painted onto water colour paper with acrylics. I hope that is represents not only the men who have fought wars, but also those that are left behind.
Well tomorrow we have a full day. It is a public holiday and we are going to the dawn service at 6am and then the main anzac day march through our city at 10am. Tomorrow night is the football at Subi oval and it will be wonderful to hear the last post played to such a large crowd. So I will be back on Monday and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
UPDATE: The painting is SOLD.
