I started this mixed media piece by putting the first layers down on the background (actually there were several layers). I had the idea of an indian head dress floating around my mind for quite awhile, so I did a sketch first to get it clearer in my mind. I then just 'went' with the colours of pink, red, oranges and aqua for the feathers....nothing was really planned, I just plodded along. At one point I was really not 'feeling' it, and wanted to just paint over it! However, I perservered and here is the finished product! I ended up making its matching 'pair' that can be hung together or solo. They are both created with acrylic paints, paper, beads, stencils and ink.
Above: Here they are together....
Absolutely beautiful!
