"Midnight Rose", 16 x 20 Mixed Media on Canvas


I finished a painting over the weekend which I thought I would share with you.

The first picture is of the whole painting and the others are sections of it which, I think, take on paintings of their own. That's what I'm enjoying about this mixed-media world and working on larger canvases. I find, myself, capturing paintings within a painting.

The main subject, of this piece, is from an antique music score I picked up in my travels. The gradient picture (purplish glow) picture is of a Photoshop play. :)

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and I wish you a safe and happy week ahead!

Love to all.....................Marilyn xxoo

Great work, I like each and every part of it! Thanks for the detailed photos, they show a lot more of those interesting aspects and also show how each part is good artwork on its own.

Gosh, Marilyn, your creativity knows no boundaries! I love seeing the close-ups -- you're right: they're vignettes unto themselves. How beautiful!
