Rust

Rust - 5"x4", mixed media

It's been awhile! I've been working hard for our group show, but I found the time to do this for our Art Motivation Meetup. The theme this time was rust. I wanted to do a silhouette of my youngest, framed in a scrapbooking tag I had. I made it rusty with a kit available at the craft store which worked great! I also experimented with Through the Viewfinder photography, shooting some pics through with my digital camera, through my old digital camera. Then I transferred one of the pics to a canvas and painted on it. You can see more of those pics at my Flickr page.
