New Mixed Media Painting

" When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation and people want to be near you"

I love this quote it is from the book "Much to do about Loving" by Jack Murnighan and Maura Kelly.  I saw the quote in the O Magazine. I just loved it. I am going to make a big painting with this quote on it and hang it on my kitchen wall so I can read it every morning before I leave the house to remind me.

So true.

And now some of the process

Steve cuts wood for me and it is primed.

Pick out the colors. I tend to gravitate to these colors. Red, Green and Cream

Throw some paint on the wood.  Add some paper and texture.

Make my own stencils

Make more textures

Paint the face and the first signs of flowers

Figuring out what flowers and where I want to place them. I cut out many different flowers. Not all of them made it.

More paper flowers and more painting.

Finished

 I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

If you have time go and visit all the artist at Paint Party Friday!
