PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 49

Hi Everyone!
Here it is Friday again already! I had a busy week, although my busy has really slowed down some. I really hate getting old and being sick. The old part is bad enough LOL.
So here is my Paint Part Friday piece. This is a wonderful blog party hosted by Eve and Kristin. Be sure to stop by to say hello to them and to visit the list of artists that participate.
Hope you enjoy my
"Golden Skin African Dreamer"
12x12 box canvas acrylic painting, air brush painting, sculpted clay face, African beads, seed beads, crystals, feathers, and fabric.

You? Old? I don't think those words go together in the same sentence! Like the ocean our lives ebb and flow, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Cherish both!

This is so imaginative. I can't understand how you get those small beads to stay in place around the hairline without leaving a big gluey mess! Really wonderful work!

Incredible piece. I love all the texture and shape. How did you adhere the clay to the canvas? And what is box canvas?
Stay inspired!
