Illuminated Dog Knot

Celtic Knot Dog

Acrylic Collage on Canvas 22 x 28

Couldn't resist using my greyhound as a model for this project.  See below, posing in the garden. 

And waking up from a snooze in one of her beds.

Up the Down Staircase

I always loved reading the Shel Silverstein books with my children.  The subjects and the flow of the poetry stuck in my mind.  I see the steps as curved stairs of a library where books of ideas that spark the imagination are stored.

Touching the Sky

Touching the Sky.

Remember when you were young if you could swing high enough your feet would touch the sky.

I think I was visualizing the wonderful cut outs of Matisse when I began constructing the tree. 
The silhouette effect seemed to give the feeling  I was trying to achieve.

Mixed media:
Acrylic, textured art paper, tissue paper, oil pastels, and string.
