Just Go For It!

Study: Mixed Media finished with Oil on Paper 24" x 30"

"This happy sheep is comprised of carefully chosen pages from a coffee table book about the 20th history, painstakingly torn to create shape, underlying color and form. This method of "underpainting" required me to simply let go of any sort of control and just go for it! I believe this is why I was drawn to brighter colors and bolder textures. "Practice joy for joy's sake, beauty for beauty's sake. See how your world changes" is a reminder to simply embrace life for no other reason than to simply LIVE it!"

This is a practice piece (aka: Study) that I did, focused on a specific mixed media painting technique. The surface is heavyweight archival paper and will arrive unframed. For best display results, choose a frame with backing to keep surface flat. Due to the nature of media on paper, you may want to add glass to the frame, but it's not necessary. All paint and varnish are archival, but it's always best not to place artwork in direct sunlight. This piece will look best under warm indoor lighting.
