When I saw the Mixed Media Monday Challenge this week asking for a piece inspired by lyrics from a song, this immediately sprang to mind. I love this line. It's so romantic.
I've had the idea for this painting for a while. I was captivated by the magazine shot of the woman in the rape field and wanted to give it a bit of a 'Lisa treatment'. OK, so it doesn't quite conjure up the romance of the lyric but the brilliant yellows from the blooms in the field keep her shining as the clouds gather above.
Acrylics, magazine collage, some more of that old book, tissue paper scrunched up (just like we did back at primary school!), charcoal pencil (my new favourite toy) and a dash of oil pastel.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blend of magazine and acrylic. You made magic! Now I'VE got sunshine!
ReplyDeleteSuper page Lisa... I love the old book text peeping through! Isn't it strange how we are coinciding with the pencil at the moment? I have a 'compulsion' to get that pencil on the page and shade and smudge. But then I am such a grungey person!
