Well you just never know when things are going to come in handy. Sometimes you are attracted to something and buy it on a whim intending to use it. Often times these items just sit around waiting, collecting dust, often forgotten, lost in our mass of intended to use items.
It’s not all bad because going through your stash is like a treasure hunt sometimes. Oh that's where that went or I forgot I had that dear and treasured item … at least it was when I bought it!
Such is the case with my little I am Angel. The canvas was purchased at a Liquidation Store for about 20 cents, intention , repurposing !! It was some landscape picture that I didn’t like, I didn’t like the rough edges on it either but for 20 cents I decided it was worth it.
A few layers of gesso, not so bad.
I had already had some Angels and girls that I had painted some time ago “stuffed away for later use”. Intention already attached to them, someday maybe I’ll use them.
Next I added some papers to the background, painted, wiped away, over painted, sanded, painted again. Well you get the idea. Added a few rub-on’s.
Beautiful purple around that awful edge and here she is.
So far so good.
Who could have known so long ago when I doodled my little angels that they would have such a special purpose. Even though I didn’t draw it recently I still created the painting in the past few days and that feels amazing to me. I choose the words I am CREATIVE with purpose.
I have been on a strange journey lately. I have lost the vision in my right eye, it’s dark and difficult, a little confusing at times. May be temporary, may recover my eyesight and that was the good news, I am awaiting further tests. I have been muddling through it in my own way though. My page is at 150% I am wearing magnifying glasses these things help. I had been doing easy things like backgrounds.
A few of these too.
But I had too create….
A magazine over painting accomplished with the help of a big magnifying glass.
I was restless I wanted to make something but what the heck was I going to make … thank you my hidden little treasures. She’s pretty and she’s HOPE.
I am creative.
