I came to a realization Saturday…I have a whole lot of trouble focusing. I swear, my thoughts are so scattered sometimes, that I can’t make sense of them at all! Same goes for my artwork.
While I love all the nifty crafty giggles I’ve done lately, I feel like my artwork is lacking direction. I bounce around from project to project the same way I bounce from thought to thought. It’s really annoying! So….I decided to revisit an old idea and see where It can take me.
Remember my fat mermaids? I did 2 drawings back to back in February exploring this idea. Today’s post is actually a 2 day giggle. I started it yesterday and finished it up today. I didn’t want to post yesterday and ruin the surprise…
Baby got back!
Isn’t she lovely? I call her “Jennifer,” because she’s got a J-Lo booty. She’s 8″x10″ acrylic on glass with a collaged background.
Here she is framed.
I actually used a thrifted picture frame as the base. I painted the mermaid on the glass in reverse, just like you’d paint a shop window. Then I used assorted papers and string to make the background. I’m really enjoying her luscious curves.
Hot damn!
By the way, did you know that a big ol’ badonkadonk is thought to help fight diabetes? So says the NY Post. Personally, I think it protects against diabetes the same way baldness gives you heart attacks… But that’s my cynical nature at work.
And this kinda of tabloid trash is why I keep declining a subscription to the Post!
