Songs of the Island

"Songs of the Island" is an 8x8 inch mixed medium painting on 1" cradled wood panel.

I painted this piece on a recent beach trip, and it is inspired by the adorable sandpiper I saw each morning on my walks as well as the abundant yellow wildflowers and orange butterflies that are indigenous to the coast.  Materials are acrylic paints, gelatos, Stabilo pencil, a touch of glitter,  Nepalese handmade paper, my own collage paper, and a page of a fairy tale that inspired the title.

This is a vibrant, textural piece. Fitted with wire, signed and titled and ready to hang on the wall.
