NEW Mixed Media Painting: With Faith

Title: WITH FAITH.
Original (SOLD).
Prints available in my etsy shop

this reindeer girl started out as a happy flower. 

i just couldn't get her face right... until i gave her an animal nose. and from there, she fell into place.

her body was created with layers of bleeding art tissue paper and acrylic....sort of a beautiful mistake. 

since i've played with the bleeding art tissue paper before, i knew that when i applied a coat of vintage mod podge on top, the paper would bleed, and, in this case, a bit too much into the background. 

but that inspired me to paint the background all black and really make the colors pop. then i added the moon made with book pages, ink and acrylic paints. and patterned the background using pant markers (one of my new favorite art supplies).

this reindeer girl knows that even when darkness moves in and all feels overwhelming, there is always something new around the corner when you move forward WITH FAITH.
