Been working a little on this mixed media on canvas.  Have been making and writing christmas cards.  Only a couple of weeks to go……

The collaged figure above is a copy of another oil painting on a floor tile.  Here it is….

This was painted at the beginning of my balloon project.  I copied the image from a photograph taken of me, by my daughter, on a beach in Fuerteventura. I love playing with positive and negative space which I think is apparent in this image.  I then traced some of the line in the tile to get the cracked look.  This took absolutely ages to dry as the paint was applied rather thickly.   I was  pleased with the outcome.
