The Story Behind The Story

9” x 12” Mixed media on paper

This mixed media painting was created with watercolor, acrylic, alcohol inks, and pens. Created totally intuitively, there are layers of stories. It’s all laid out, from the beginning to the end.

If you are like me, you are always questioning the story. What is the REAL story? What is the “Story Behind the Story”??? Stories upon stories. How did it all begin? It’s my nature to question things. Maybe I should have been a journalist? Nah, I am an artist, I will paint my story. πŸŽ¨πŸ˜‰

Since I have been painting consistently for several years now, I have developed several different “styles” of my work. One of these styles includes busy details, lots of color, asemic marks, mixed media chaos. These pieces tend to be my favorites.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friends, stay safe, keep creating!

    β€œ I am an artist, I will paint my story. πŸŽ¨πŸ˜‰ β€œ – oh this so you for sure, Tiffany! 😊 I love the way this piece lends itself to differing interpretations! I’m reminded of my wife and I’s stay in Paris, near the top floor, looking out over rooftops and walls of windows with so much life going on in them ❀️ Had to tweet this!

    Beautiful Tiffany I love this and the name. Perfect. I also love the way you did your circle toward the bottom of the painting. I know you love the color blue which I do too. Lovely my friend. Hope all is well and glad to see you are staying busy. Sending you lots of love, hugs and blessings. I love your red hair, beautiful. I know this is off topic but I do think red hair is gorgeous especially when you have beautiful skin which you do. Love y’all πŸ€—πŸ’•β€οΈπŸ¦‹Joni
