"Dream" 20 X 24 Mixed Media Painting By Tracy Weinzapfel

I shared my first 20 X 24 painting HERE yesterday that shipped to the NAMTA show and today I share the second piece.......

 

This piece presented more of a challenge as it needed to be more grunge which I am not as comfortable with but I brightened it in my own way... 

 Lots of great (DECOART!) products that inspire me and not being afraid to play with them to add texture and dimension...you never know where it will take you!

MATERIALS LIST: Decoupage, Gesso, Dimensional Effects, Acrylic Sealer and Paints (DecoArt - Dark Chocolate, Raw Sienna, Marigold, Light Avocado, Avocado, Saffron Yellow, Cool White, Bittersweet Chocolate, Honey Brown, and Dazzling Metallics Glorious Gold & Campagne Gold), Stencils (The Crafter's Workshop), Charcoal Pencil, Markers (Sharpie), Ink (Marvy Heritage)

 

Again, I loved just playing with the texture....

 

I captured the entire painting process on film in this slide show HERE:

so they are both shipped and on their way!.....

 

What a week!  I think I need a creative vacation.......thanks for visiting!

Daisy Love!!!!!! You did an awesome job!!!! Someday I'm gonna have a piece of Tracy Art hanging in my house. Brooke and I were looking at home decor canvases and kept saying...."Tracy's is better than that" lol <3

This second one does seem a bit out of character for your, Tracy, with the darker colors, but I actually love it...not as much as the one hanging in my studio, but I do love it! You are going to make someone very, very happy! I am thrilled that people who don't know you--like friends and family--are buying your work. It means that you are a REAL artist, truly so!
