Multi-layered Mixed Media 5x7 art on cradle board

I made this art for @photojenn in the 12 days of Christmas swap. She graciously let me use her pics because I forgot to take any!

This was one of those pieces that I did many many different layers over multiple days. At first I just wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go in but as I added layers I finally got to the point I was pretty happy with it.

There are layers of gesso, stenciling, collaging, acrylic paints, inks, etc.

Your art is so wonderful. It’s so rich and the depth is amazing. A lot of people stop too soon, but you do just the right amount of layers. It’s a gift! I always love seeing your work.

This is beautiful! You are officially the master of layering perfectly! That blue at the top really makes the rest of it pop. You are so great at balance in your pieces too.
