"Aspen Contrast" mixed media acrylic/paper © Saundra Lane Galloway

"Aspen Contrast"

12 x 25"mixed media on MDF panel with 1 3/4" poplar whitewashed cradle sides

WILL BE AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE AFTER AUGUST 7

Since the smaller version of this sold I decided to do a larger version. Actually I had planned to do a larger piece using this basic composition and color scheme before the smaller one (Up Close and Personal) sold...so this was a good time...JUST before the outdoor show next weekend...The colors and papers used are very similar, and the basic composition is the same; however the larger version called for a bit more on the right side...but...it works! AND...as I promised myself I finished the sides right after the painting! YEA!!

I've been collecting lots of little bits of paper...I want to play with it next...already have a title in mind...but I'll hold off until I see if it still fits! NO REST FOR THE BUSY!!

THanks to my husband I'm about 3/4 of the way finished with the wire panels I decided to use for hanging my work at the outdoor festival in Conifer next weekend. This truly was an outdoor show on a shoestring! I borrowed a tent, purchased sides, and a table, but the rest has been what ever I can come up with that looks good that costs LITTLE! If I decide that I like doing these and when I have more of that elusive green stuff I'll invest in other; more professional things...but we do what we can with what we have!! RIGHT?...RIGHT!! :)

HAPPY CREATING!
