The gallery where I exhibit my paintings is hosting a holiday showcase of the represented
Muse of Creative Fire |
artists, and I have been competing a painting which began as the demo for last summer's Muse of Creative Fire class. I have been intrigued with round canvases, so choose one for that class.
We had a lovely group of five students at an art Center about two hours away, and spent the day bringing our Muses into the canvas. Like many of my demo paintings, she has been waiting for the next step for awhile, then began whispering. Two of my granddaughters are rehearsing for our basket studio's annual Nutcracker, which gave the inspiration for the transformation from summer muse to Snow Queen!
The color theme shifted from the reds of summer to winery blues and silver. I darkened her background, and used plastic wrap in the wet paint for patterns, as I brought new life into her havue and halo. Both silver and interference play in the highlights, and I got silver leaf for her crown and earrings. I'm am pleased with the transformation, she's ready for the holiday show.

Amazing transformation!
I have always loved the Snow Queen...this s wonderful!

Thank you!! I did a painting, "Dancers," , several years ago that hangs in the studio. Our teacher Emma has danced the Show Queen several years now, and is roughly the model for both that piece and this.
