I happened to ask myself today my what has Verna done with Florella lately and I went to check. I so missed some of your updates. The mixed media introduction to your paintings is such a great addition. The fabric and paper being added in oh so sweet.
I like the circular one, question for you is your stems raised? It looks like they are raised, like you used yarn or some sort of string for the stems. Ah I see colored embroidery thread.
How are you loving acrylic? How did they go when you sent them off to Terra Cotta Gallery? I want to try stretching material and using that as a canvas to paint on. Wouldn't that be a fun experiment to try, I think you should try it too.
Yeah, stretching material would be very cool. The pattern/colour of the fabric would be a lot of fun to work on, wouldn't it.
One thing: I tried painting on wool fabric when I was in art school and it stretched and sagged. Rather disappointing.
Experienting with different types of fabrics could be fun, though. Just no wool! :)
Glad you like the new works. They are a good outlet for my creative juices since the cities have become so ... prescribed. Yeah, that's it: prescription cities. har
