Lost

6″ x 6″ mixed media on canvas

This desktop art piece started with acrylic paint in the background, then, I cut up a print of one of my favorite paintings, “A Thousand Faces” and modge podged it onto the canvas along with some ancient pressed flowers.

It’s hard to capture in the photo, but there are some faces peeking out of the strips of print. “Lost” really speaks to me, I think it reminds me of my favorite childhood book “Where the Wild Things Are” for some reason?

    Nice. It has a bookish look about it. I commented on your previous post, but it was one among several comments that got lost in the ether. I was thinking that you could make 3x3x3 cubes painted differently on each of the six sides for another form of desktop paintings. They would be changeable depending on which side you are looking at, and stackable, as well.

      Tim, you are BRILLIANT! I absolutely love that idea! I’m look into it…. I didn’t know I was going to love doing small paintings so much, it was intimidating, but now I am addicted!

        A lot of the old masters did small paintings. When I walk into a gallery and among the paintings there is a small painting in comparison to the others, I invariably walk over to see what the small painting is about.

    Thanks so much! I sometimes wonder if I like texture more than color? Nah, I love them both!

      Yeah, thanks, I like that it is different and simple, yet interesting. I decided to only sign the back of the desk top pieces, most of them can be switched around to be more versatile!

    Lovely idea – worth the risk of cutting up a favourite painting for.
