Tattered Renaissance.....

I've been trying to think of new ways to incorporate my love of art history into my paintings, and as I was flipping through some fine art catalogs in my collection, I decided to use the glossy pages of prints featuring old master paintings. In this piece, I used prints of "A Dutch Harbour Scene" by Thomas Heeremans 1660-1697 for the skirt of the dress, and "A River Landscape With Three Huntsman With Their Dogs" by Pieter Meulener 1602-1654 for other areas of the dress and accents. This mixed media painting includes moody colors, subtle textures, layers of papers, and an "aged" finish for a tattered renaissance look, 6 x 12 stretched canvas. It's available on Ebay now, You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

Renaissance Angel....

My love affair with the Renaissance continues. I've been studying the great artists of this era for quite some time. After much experimentation, I finally came up with a color combination using my acrylics that resemble oils. I can not use oil paints because of an allergy, but love the deep enchanting hues. I incorporated a landscape into the background of this painting. If you click on the image of the painting, you will see a larger image and more detail. I will be listing on Ebay tonight!
