Cascades

This piece was all about color when I began.  I found a turquoise color I absolutely loved, so I decided to build a piece around it.  I seem to find it hard to get away from working with acrylic paint and a lot of water- I just love how different colors will bleed together and run down the canvas when I add water.  It's always a spectacular effect. 

 

 

As you can see, I put my quilled paper pieces in the white areas and worked vertically, abstractly bringing to mind waterfalls, bubbles, and even moss covered rocks.  I added a few splatters over the paper pieces to add a little more of the color I loved so much... :)

 Here are the side view pictures.  My paintings are so three dimensional, I've been trying recently to show how they stand out from the canvas.  This piece I simply adhered these quilled pieces to my canvas using gel medium.  For a lot of my pieces, I will use paper clay to really bring the focus off the canvas. 

 

Let me know what this piece makes you think of.  I love to hear other interpretations of my creations.  They often inspire me and I find myself overflowing with new ideas just from what people have told me.  I love it!  So thank you in advance!
