Love this new style of painting I?m doing where I?m only painting what?s in the light. It goes back to the Dutch Masters who highlighted light in their paintings and allowed for huge areas of shadow.

I love mixed media and using texture to create interest. In this piece I used modeling paste, gold foil, acrylic ink, alcohol ink, collage and glitter to create interest and expression. The focus of this piece is definitely her glasses. She sees brightness in the gold and love. If you look closely, her left eye sees I LOVE YOU in different languages. I use this tissue paper a lot in my art. We cannot say I LOVE YOU enough to each other!
