I definitely KNOW I need to run out and get brilliant red glitter for this girl’s dress! The rest of the painting, I have no idea what it will turn into. But I just see her as some kind of mermaid, deciding whether or not to get back into that water. And she definitely needs to SPARKLE!
This is a really big painting for me (size-wise). I mean, most of my pieces are 10×10 inches and this canvas is 20×24! I didn’t think it would be so intimidating. But she’s sat like this for a few days now, and today I am finally going to get that red glitter! I’m also wanting to play around with a few mixed media techniques I’ve been seeing for the background. I used to make a mess with beeswax, stencils and spray paint. I’m LOVING the look of layered backgrounds and can’t wait to get out the old supplies and try it!

I have recently painted on larger canvases and LOVE it! There is something intimidating and freeing all at the same time. Can't wait to see the contrasting red glitter against that bright beautiful blue! xo
