IF Visitor
“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.” - Einstein
This is the finished 5x7 canvas I previewed on the blog yesterday. Golden acrylics (including a generous helping of Micaceous Iron Oxide), image transfer (my grandfather RIP) and some rayon mesh. A justjohanna scroll image is also in there...but it doesn't show up well in the scan.
Thank you for stopping by today!

This is WONDERFUL! really haunting. I thought about death at the door for IF Visitor, but couldn't make it work the way I wanted. This is great.
Micaceous iron oxide paint seems to keep cropping up in my reading--I think it's a hint that I need some! (Anything's a hint that I need more art supplies:)
Oh MY. What an AMAZING, evocative piece of art. I'm gob-smacked!
A bit eerie, sort of like a haunted house piece. Love those gothic looking letters you used.
ME 2.... gob-smacked!!! Love that term. This is very nice and appropriate for my mood today. Thanks for making and sharing your talent. Amazing TFS
Might I add hauntingly beautiful.
Cool! A bit spooky but cool!
Cool! How did you do the letters? They go very well with the project. I like the mesh too.
Wonderful art! Love the 'rough' canvas you used.
The letters are stamps :) Martha Stewart..thanks everyone!!!
I like this a lot! :o)

Julie...this is hauntingly gorgeous. I love the dark beautiful colors you used :o)
Very cool. I love the quote too.
wow great job !!
Julie, I think this s very painterly piece worth exploring in many ways. As I said before, you do have a great intuitive choice of choosing the right materials, I love the jagged almost hesitant tears on the left. The deep color is very effective too. You got what it takes, girl. Go for it!! I am really impressed by this piece.
Wow..this is stunning!And I like how you interpretated this IF topic!
Wow! I loved the quote with your painting! This is such a treasure, thankyou for sharing all of this :)
That's awesome!
Very beautiful!
Very powerful and haunting. Love the color you used, and the texture is wonderful. I think this may be my favorite piece of yours (so far)! Beautiful.
