Whisper Portrait

Whisper Portraits


It's easy for me to get into a rut painting only those pieces in demand by the galleries that carry my art.  When I take a break to work with other techniques and media, I get to have huge fun while stimulating my creative juices at the same time.   These two are paintings in watercolor of a beautiful face on heavy watercolor paper.  Once dry, I collaged over the painting with imported rice paper, some with flecks of gold, and then highlighted with oil pastels.   The result is an ethereal looking portrait of a gorgeous face behind a sort of textured veil. 
I just posted these two from my personal collection today for sale on www.myotherstore.etsy.com.
Thanks so much for taking a look.
