It's hard to believe today is the closing of the Olympics. I've really enjoyed watching them when I could. I think I will always remember the Opening Ceremonies; what a mix of artistic and technological splendor!
This is a picture of a mixed-media painting I just completed today. It's done on 300 lb. hot-press watercolor paper with acrylics and some collage elements.
I taught a class on Saturday called "Two for One" where I shared with students how to create an abstract painting using just two colors of acrylic paints. This piece was my start for teaching purposes. I brought it home and decided to create a finished painting with it in honor of the Olympics. :)
I hope you're all having a fun weekend and hope your week, ahead, is good to you!
Thank you for visiting! Much love - Marilyn xxoo

gorgeous painting Marilyn. Love the choice of vivid and contrasting colors, and the mix of hard and soft edges.
Marilyn, this is stunning. Once again, I am wishing that I could take courses from you because I love the idea of only using two colours to create a piece. This one is so full of detail and captures the mystique and vibrancy of this year's Olympics so well.
fabulous piece Marilyn! the two colours you chose are absolutely marvellous! and so much to see on this painting!
Love your painting, Marilyn, it has really powerful colours!
WOW nice colors composition etc!! Very fab!
Wow! This is incredible. Two colors??? You need to write a book-I need to learn from you! The colors, the depth, the techniques!!!! I am in awe!
