A painted canvas from the Taking Flight book

March 24, 2009 Emily

I belong to the Taking Flight Ning group (you can access them from my right side bar) and I completed my first canvas today. I am very pleased. The size of the canvas is 11″ X 14″.

This is supposed to be me. The affirmations are a response to some of my fears. They are positioned all over the red dress. I really love this technique of doing a patchwork background of collage papers and painting over it. Try it!
