Dried botanical flowers, mixed media painting


It was while I was taking care of a flower garden,  that I had a break to observe some wild plants that were removed among the flowers. Others in bouquets, and others pressed between heavy piles of books, for home decoration and for crafting. I have also had this canvas available, that it had been used for another painting and wasn't to be compiled among the finished projects. I used this canvas for mixed media, layering materials I have gathered from the garden, acrylic colours and flowers. I really enjoyed layering the abstract backround, kept a hint from that botanical research, and protected the mixed media canvas with thick layers of varnish. 

With lots of love,


Mixed media canvas, Bird with ceramic flowers

I wanted to create a palette backround on cardboard, at this art project, and also wanted to find out, how well a canvas surface...
