Morning has broken

With my decision to abandon acrylic paints, I thought I might as well play around a bit with collage & the remaining paints. I took a finished painting (that you remember as my first venture into acrylic painting) and began to embellish with bits of fabric & some handmade lace paper I had left from years ago.

the starting point



"Morning Has Broken"
I am going to add a bit more depth to the leaf applique, & then wait a few days before i varnish it. But i am very happy with this painting collage.

Nothing wrong with using a couple of different mediums.....art is anything that looks good together with something else. Alot like card making I would say, where you can use glitter, lace, buttons and bows and whatever your heart desires, put it all together and WALA you have ART!!!
