SMALL "CELEBRATION" WALL HANGINGS

 

Marcia has been painting her loving, joyful figures for over 20 years. Each painting is original and is called "Celebrations"

After a long period of constant refining, my designs have matured into a series of images that appeal to one’s soul. The ‘Celebration’ images were inspired by cave drawings but quickly evolved. Androgynous people became women and men, they began to sing and dance, and before I knew it, families came onto the scene.

The symbols took on specific meanings, and new characters like mermaids, fairies, and angels have emerged. Who knows what will happen next! In order to paint my pictures, I first lay out the pieces and scumble three coats of acrylic paint over them all, then add texture with clear gel.

Next, I paint the image using a squeeze tube, let it dry, then apply a glaze of antique colour. Finally, I highlight the image with metallic paint. After applying the hanger, cutting and preparing the glass and matting, I tape all three together. Then I use copper metal tape to form the frame.

After cutting, curling, and hammering the copper wire, I glue on the corner pieces.The last step is to apply the Celebration legend to the back. The legend explains the images and my philosophy regarding them.

I hope that you enjoy my Celebrations!
