Texture and 29 Faces
Day 25
This is my favorite imp, that rascal Puck.
I created this for the Inspiration Avenue challenge, Texture,
but since I've spent some time on his face,
I'm posting it for 29 Faces also :-)
Puck is strolling through the forest with a friend and looking for mischief.
He may have found it in the floating fairy lights.
Care to play catch, Mr. Fox?
It's colored pencil and acrylic paint with bits of collage paper,

Care to play catch, Mr. Fox?
It's colored pencil and acrylic paint with bits of collage paper,
magazine pages, tissue paper, ribbon, and corrugated cardboard.
Did I forget anything? Oh, book pages. And who knows what else,
since I was pasting the kitchen sink on there to create some texture.
I've been visiting blogs and reading how texture has been difficult
to show in a scanned or photographed image.
Everyone is so right ~ it's tricky . . . my photos were showing
bumps and highlights where I didn't want them and
skipping right over the texture that I wanted to show up. Bleh.
I started this canvas a long time ago and thought it would be a good
candidate for the texture challenge. It doesn't resemble what I
started with at all. You can see the original post here, along with
the insightful "critique" from my office assistant :)
there is now a fox. Sorry, Oliver.
No wonder it took me so long to complete it.
Notice: where I was once going to put a cat,there is now a fox. Sorry, Oliver.
Visit Inspiration Avenue on Sunday afternoon to see
the entries displayed in our gallery!
I hope you are enjoying the weekend...
Mother Nature has decided we needed a bit more snow.
What can I do but say
“Thank you, but I hope we won't be needing any more after this.”
