IF - Idle...and...Mixing it up with Melange - Whisper


In a rare idle moment, she finally heard the urgent whisper of her heart.

I painted her this morning while the words were swirling around in my mind and thought she'd be perfect for this week's Illustration Friday theme of Idle AND the Mixing it up with Melange theme of Whisper.

It seems that I can't stop painting these women and am amazed how each one looks unique and has something different to say. Again, I used molding paste on a 5 x 7 gessoed piece of 140 lb cold-pressed watercolor paper. I made sure to create some good texture before then painting over it with acrylic paint. The colors I used are so unusual for me, but I really, really ended up loving them all together! If this lovely lady speaks to you like she does to me, you can find her in my little Etsy shop.

Tomorrow, I promise to show the last of our road trip pictures and share a couple of awards I am way behind on passing on... In the meantime, I hope you are all having a wonderfully creative weekend!
