I found some time, today, to finish up this acrylic/mixed media painting. It is on a 16 x 20 canvas. I call it Beautiful Women in Art. I've actually been working on it on and off when I can.
The picture isn't the greatest, I had to try to sharpen it up in Photoshop because I kept getting glare. I sealed the painting with glossy medium and it was difficult getting a really clear picture. I normally use matte medium to seal but tried the glossy and I think it takes on an oil painting feel to it.
There are a lot of inclusions in this painting; fluid acrylics, cheesecloth, stamping into gel medium, molding paste, hand-dyed Japanese paper, oil pastels, etc.
I really enjoyed working on this painting and was happy that I found some time to finish it. :)
I hope you all are having a good week so far. I think Spring is finally arriving, in our area, and I've had windows open all day and the air just feels wonderful coming through the windows. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Love, Marilyn

Marilyn...you and this canvas piece are so inspiring. Those background colors are gorgeous and I love all the other elements added. Love it!
Wonderful canvas Marilyn... beautiful, vibrant, rich colours (just like the old masters). Great idea to use the gloss sealant and give it that "oil painted" look.
this is lovely Marilyn. gorgeous colours and textures. the ladies look very cosy and comfortable
what a stunning piece Marilyn, there is so much depth and colour to all the layers, beautiful work.
I wish spring would arrive here, well it did for one day, bright sky, sun was shinning and then we woke to 6 inches of snow the following morning.
