Eye Candy

This is a quick project for a friend. Art for her guest bath. She requested red, and there is more red than pink, just doesn’t look that way in these images. The pink is actually a mix of magenta and copper, and it is much deeper, and only slightly metallic.

I painted these with twigs and an embossing tool on four scraps of watercolor paper. Watercolor, acrylic, pen, and collage. When they were dry, I used a stencil for the heart shapes. The bits that look brown, are actually copper and I wish you could see the light they add. I cut out words from a magazine. Happy, home, love and family, sweethearts, playful.

The frames are a mock-up, close to what she has, I was just curious. These are 4 x 6. I think they are going to look very nice. Have a great night, and enjoy tomorrow!

      ha ha, Thanks Lucy. The first two pieces I did for her (a few months ago) did not come out as well as I had hoped, so I am replacing “bad” art with something better. I had hoped to find more words that described her, and her family, but I did not. So I may be replacing these with some new art again in a few months. Ha ha ha
