PAINT PARTY FRIDAY WEEK 2 YEAR 2

Hi Everyone!
I have been lax in posting. I have been extremely busy with beading, writing my new book, sculpting, painting and getting ready for art gallery shows. Pray my energy stays up and lupus does not invade me.
So this week for Paint Party Friday I am showing another of my sculptural leather paintings. I really do like this guy. He  has so much character. He is "A ghost in Flight."
Thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday. Be sure to stop by to see the other artists who participate.
I am off to my mom's for the weekend. There is a great bead store on the way over, I will be stopping in for a few things.
12x12 box canvas, acrylic paints, sculptured leather, feathers, seed beads
All of my leather is sculpted by hand no molds.



Happy weekend!

I like A Ghost in Flight too... might be my favorite of your sculptured leather pieces. The feathers remind me of flames, like he's floating in the smoke from a fire.... yup - this guy is cool!
