Hi - another Finnibair inspired mixed media on canvas. This one measures 18 x 18 inches. Ive titled it Peace, as this is what I feel when I look at the photo.... Hope you like it too :)
Welcome to my blog - I am a mixed media artist mainly working in acrylic paint, and adding paper, inks, glitter, impasto, sand, beads, pastels and whatever takes my fancy! I also create watercolour and ink illustrations, which can be bought unframed, and are also made into greeting cards. I take commissions, if you want something that may have already sold, or you would like something original or in another size or colour.

"Treasure"......
I have been a fan of Finnibair's work for some time, and she has inspired me to make this large piece. I love the eclectic feel to this one and all the little details. Ive used everything from screws, bottle tops, beads, rope and more! I was able to create texture on the background using layers of tissue paper as well as impasto paste. I think I will be definitely making some other pieces like this but in other colours. Stay tuned!! Feel free to contact me juliemryder01@gmail.com if you would like a commission piece made for you :)

Bright Blooms....mixed media on canvas.
Good evening everyone.
This was a larger piece (76 x 76cm) mixed media on canvas, that I finished painting today and SOLD all in the one day!! Gotta love that! I think that these colours (Rich reds, oranges) are quite popular at the moment (my house has these colours). I will find out Friday when the client picks it up I guess, where it is going to hang! Hope you liked it :)
Cheers
Julie :)

Workshop Success!!
What fun we had at the last Creative Mixed Media Backgrounds workshop!!
The lovely ladies had a blast exploring and trying out new stuff and were amazed at what they were able to create!! So if you would like to have a go at this as well, please email me on juliemryder01@gmail.com
I provide all the materials, journals etc and I will show you some different but simple techniques to create mixed media backgrounds that you could also use on canvas as well. We use an A4 journal book and its a lot of fun!
The girls used some gorgeous colours using acrylic paints, ink sprays etc
Hmmmm.....yes, just some of the mess to clean up afterwards!!

Roaring red sunset flower meadow!!
Good morning all. Well I finally have finished this vibrant red number!! It measure 91.5cm x 46cm (36 x 18 inches) mixed media on canvas. It would look stunning in my house actually, but no, Im not keeping this one, due to the fact I am running out of walls!! Anyway, it has colours of reds, burgandy, chocolate browns, cream, various golds, oranges, bronze and olive greens. I love the metallic paints I have used, as it gives them a nice touch as does the glitter glue. It must truly be seen in person to really see its vibrancy and glimmer :)
On the side profile, you can see the lovely gloss and glitter of the metallic paints and glitter.
