New Painting






(Click on image to enlarge)
This is my new painting "Dreaming of Paris", 10"x8". I used the new technique's that Alexandra taught me when I was visiting her last Monday. These photos are not the best. The main color looks white, but really it is a buttery light yellow. The last photo is an attempt to show you what I did with the top and bottom sides. This is Venetian plaster mixed with acrylics and gouache.
Please let me know what you think...Love. XOXO
P.S. I may varnish this piece, but will show you if I do, but I kind of like the matte finish.

Wow....it's very cool - and different! I love all the detail - and can see the colours quite clearly. I wouldn't touch it - love the matte finish!

Ooh la-la!
Tres Magnificque!

Wow! I love this! The colors and textures and patterns are all gorgeous. I really think you are on to something with this, Annie. I really the like matte finish, too, since it has more of that New Mexico feel to it. Does that make sense?
:0)
I hope you are having a terrific week!

Love and hugs,
xoxoxo

Gorgeous Annie, I immediately thought birthday cake in the 1st pic because the sides were like candles and the top part like a huge cake that people below were waiting for.

Love it! So uplifting. It makes me want to touch it.
