Susan at Art Stream Studios is hosting her 2nd annual Lovely Hearts art show and sale.....small art to benefit breast cancer.
Live music, CHOCOLATE...great art....
I'm submitting 2 tiny canvases....each 4" x 5"....this one with the now familiar orchids, the theme of the show is Love....and I am LOVING working with this image.
This one has fragments of love sonnets that speak of roses written on it. I like the texture that the layers of gel medium, crayon, ink and more gel medium give to it.
Please join in this wonderful event to benefit a worthwhile cause... and a great excuse to make some LOVELY art....
isn't it cool how the journaling stuff can be a direct conduit to expressions in more traditional media?
might have just the thing...
we'll see

Steph~
It sounds like a great event. And I really love your art. Orchids and roses...two of my favs!! You are very talented my dear.

Hey Steph,
These are BOTH great, and made with LOVE for a great cause too!
I've never had an orchid, but have given them as gifts, because they are mysterious and beautiful. Something about them makes me think they've been around for a long, long time. I have a friend who collects and cares for them. One she has, has bloomed in Dec for 30 years!!

These are wonderful, Stephanie. I really admire your use of colour in your artwork. I often find it hard to figure out colours...I worked so many years in b&w photography... I'll be sending something in to Susan's show, too. Not sure what but that's my goal for this week.
