almost abandoned

If you were here the other day, I made mention of a project, slightly buried under some layers, which may or may not get finished. Well, it did ... get finished, that is ...


The inspiration came from here but I've just put the actual original pic here for you to see ...


When I saw these pics, I was immediately taken with the idea of using the negative and positive space as well as line and direction to make a semi abstract "floral" canvas. You know how much I love using colour, but I thought I would try to be restrained :)  However, I couldn't resist using some "sparkle", maybe suggestive of Winter which was coming soon.

In case you are interested, I used ... heavy watercolour paper, black drawing pens, Tombows, Twinkling H2Os, Derwent coloured pencils and for the frame, gesso (lots), impasto paste, Glimmermist.

And, now, because I am actually quite pleased with it, I am linking it at Our Creative Corner
