Whimsical Flowers!!!

This mixed media floral art work was done using acrylic paint, acrylic gloss medium, stamps, word printouts, various scrapbooking and other papers, and buttons. The substrate is a piece of weathered wood, which we sanded lightly before painting and gluing our mixed media elements to the surface. Super fun project --- and more to come!

Pastel Flower - in Detail!

Here's another example of a pastel floral painting.

Like many of O'Keefe's flowers, this one shows the center of the flower in great detail.
