I joined the Brooklyn Art Library's canvas Project, where we were given a word (mine was Brannigan) and a 4" x 4" canvas on which to create and send back. The canvases will be compiled in an encyclopedia and the canvases distributed to the participants. So I get someone else's - how exciing.
Now Brannigan is not a word I was instantly familiar with and imagine my surprise when I looked it up:
brannigan
(ˈbrænɪɡən)I decided on a bright layered background (over dictionary paper) using stencils and Dina Wakley Heavy Body paints... and then I got a bit stuck. Inspiration came in the form of the Deep Red Rubber stamp "Doc Martens" which I coloured with Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks and created cracks with a glaze.
It is now on it's way to the Library and I can't wait to see what is returned.
Brannigan....like you I would have had to look the word up. I love your canvas...the colours, patterns and of course those Devine little shoes. Wherever did you get them. Really enjoying seeing all your art.x
