SACRED LISTENING WOMAN

I painted my “SACRED LISTENING WOMAN” and I don’t know if you can see it in this photo or not but I also painted two muted trees “underneath” her face symbolizing New Life and Growth. Her eyelashes are sacred wings…

This is my very first painting using acrylics and I must confess that I didn’t feel “ready” to paint on my precious canvas, still needing to learn the way the paint brushes feel, how much to use… etc… so I used my big water color tablet Felt safer to start that way for me. In the end I took my Iridescent Gold and washed the entire painting with it. I might have muted the painting too much in doing so. I didn’t realize how it would mute it, I thought it would make it more sparkely and shiny. But here it is!
