Lavender and the Face on the Collaged Background

My photo of the day is not a spectacular one, but it is very soothing to me. I love the color and there is something about a lavender plant that evokes lying in the sun in the summertime without a care in the world.

What do you think? What does it conjure up for you?

And I have painted the face on the collaged background. I didn't realize how difficult it was going to be. In retrospect, I realize I should have sealed the papers once more with matte medium before beginning. As I painted, the papers buckled from the wetness and it was very trying to get things to go as planned. I am not overly unhappy with her - her nose needs work and the shadow to the left of her mouth is "dirty", but overall, I like the impact of the face.

Comments? Suggestions?

I am involved in a swap of ATCs with a friend in Niles, Michigan, and will get them put together today so that I can hopefully send them on Monday unless the PO is closed for the holiday. If so I will put them in the mail on Tuesday. I will share them with you once I know she has received them.

I hope you have a safe, fun holiday weekend.

xoxo
