I collaged two slightly different patterned papers onto a prepared 6X6 board. I looked at a black and white photo of myself to get the basics drawn onto the panel. After that I went crazy using acrylics, colored pencils, chalk pastels, charcoal, fine-tip black and sepia pens and finally a stamp to create an iron looking bench. I pushed and pulled out different flowers from the patterned paper for the background.

To booksmithstudio: There is a story there but a little too long to tell here. It also has to do with the expression; like when you’re on the verge of getting impatient 🙂 Patience is something I have had to really work on (and still do all the time)!
This is a wonderful piece. I like the backstory, as I am always interested in the story behind an artist’s work.
