“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.” - EinsteinThis 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.
ReplyDeleteMicaceous 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!
ReplyDeleteA bit eerie, sort of like a haunted house piece. Love those gothic looking letters you used.

Julie...this is hauntingly gorgeous. I love the dark beautiful colors you used :o)
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I love the quote too.
ReplyDeletewow great job !!
ReplyDeleteJulie, 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.
ReplyDeleteWow..this is stunning!And I like how you interpretated this IF topic!
ReplyDeleteWow! I loved the quote with your painting! This is such a treasure, thankyou for sharing all of this :)
