Wild About You by Leada Wood©

This painting is 22x28, liquid acrylic on arches paper. I did this using Henri Matisse techniques. Matisse used lots of pattern, bright colors, and outlined in black. I used patterns from a Matisse painting, used my own colors and a stamp I carved for some of the patterns in the blocks and outlined in black. I also added a bit of lepord collage to the girls neckline and a bit in her hair. I don't think I am done with this painting yet as there are a few things I want to do...so I will repost it again when I finish!

Fun Furniture

Not only do I enjoy painting on paper and canvas, I also enjoy painting furniture. Bright happy colors are all over my studio. When you walk in the door it brightens you day no matter your mood! A cheerful heart does good like medicine, and I do strive to be cheerful. Enjoy the journey!
