POPPY PRINCESS 8 X 8 Inch Print of Mixed Media Painting by JULIETTE CRANE The idea for this painting came after reading that farmers cut down the tallest poppy in the field. Well, in my fairy tale land, those who stand out, tall and strong, are royalty and cannot be cut down. The original painting was created using acrylics, colored pencils, pastels, modern and vintage origami papers, pencil, ink, and artist pens. The girl's face is drawn and then painted using lots of materials for a beautiful mixed media effect. Her dress is carefully cut from origami paper and then the pleats were drawn in with pastel. On top, I applied a decoupage finish.
Oooo! I love her - no farmer will cut HER down! Just beautiful!
