Little Bird Mixed Media Canvas Final Version

I think this one is now officially done. I decided to add a few elements after I thought it was done the first time. I was going to put it on Etsy, but I’m too attached. I think I will keep it. Perhaps it is the start of a new series - I’m up to […]

Artful Monday - Little Bird Mixed Media

I have been playing around with some of my photos lately. This little sparrow is so cute and personable that I must have gotten 50 shots of him the other day! When I looked at them, though, they were lacking oomph. (Is that a word?) I decided to use some of them in mixed media […]
