Description

FACE MASK ART: https://pixels.com/profiles/laurel-adams/shop/face+masks
This original acrylic is my FIRST attempt on Black canvas, coupled with my FIRST attempt with liquid pour acrylic! Moonlight along a path into a woodland clearing has a decidedly surrealistic FEEL for me and so seemed to be the perfect theme for experimenting with this new-to-me medium.
I think the intent (from other artists’ work I’ve seen of late) is to be looser and more contemporary with this product. Well, that might take a bit more “time”... in Laurelland! I crumpled paper towel for some of the foggy moonlit effects and “poured” the trees but couldn’t give up the brushwork! An interesting note is that black canvas is less camera friendly (at least, for me). I added a few more foreground spongings, signed my name, photographed for upload, edited the image, all of which took about twenty minutes. Look at the next photo taken with artificial light since it turned dark in the twenty minute span of time. I will finish this piece NEXT YEAR in all probability so more to follow. Postscript: And, sadly, Since I developed allergies to paint toxins and resins, this is most likely ...my last acrylic; however, a third scan was found in archives and became “Nightlight 3”.
A HAIKU:
“Enter the Night woods,
Seek the kiss of enchantment.
FEEL tree’d Breath…i..n..h..a..l..e!
