I have been dying to try a collage, and couldn’t quite get started
so I began with a rough sketch
I decided to combine painting and collage, to get more in my comfort zone
Have you seen these portrait type paintings of women?
Kim Kreis is one of my favorite artists
She is known for her faceless females with flowers and things in her hair
She calls them the Flower Ladies, see them here
Maren Devine also has a fun, loose style
These ladies were my inspiration for the blushing “Sweet Sue”
glass beads and old watercolor paintings
clear glass beads, flat on one side, come in handy for lots of projects,
you can paint them any color you like
hair and background
“Trying on” her jewelry
Rubber cement, mod podge, glue, and finishing details with paint pens
Blushing “Sweet Sue”
was feeling quite blue
so she decided to bake
a variety of cakes
not to eat, but instead
to put on top of her head!
Then with jewelry and flowers
She gained magical powers!
I get so much inspiration from my artist friends
