8 x 8 Show

Grand Tour - London 8 x 8"

This Friday and Saturday Allied Arts of Cambria is having their Spring fund raiser at the Cambria Vets Hall. This year all the entries are 8 x 8" and priced at $75.00, a third of the profits going to fund various Allied Arts scholarship programs.

Grand Tour - Venice 8 x8"

For my three pieces I chose to take the "grand tour" and visit London, Paris and Venice. I used red rosin techniques directly on the small canvases, gessoing in cheesecloth for texture, using craft acrylics and then embellishments - including marbled paper, a Laduree business card, English tram tickets and various vintage coins.


Grand Tour - Paris 8 x 8"

It was fun to work small, about a twelfth the size of my usual red rosin paintings, and of course, always wonderful to revisit Paris, London and Venice!
