Glittering Clovers

The other day I discovered some old reference photos I had taken of the giant clover patches scattered across our overgrown yard. . . they have such wonderful shapes I just had to draw them, I mean paint them, I mean both. . .the “new” Annie technique of art making.  I guess I can just refer to it as mixed media. . .though somehow there rings some odd connotations with that term, too many glimpses in tacky collage books at Barnes and Noble.

I also picked up some Golden metallic copper paint, much easier to use than the metal leaf sheets that always seem to spastically waft around them room in the breeze of every slight movement. You need to be a champion holder-of-breath to successfully master gilding, I think I’ll stick to paintertape stencils and paint tubes for my glittering. Anyways, these will be appearing at the husband-wife show we have coming up soon at The HUB-BUB Showroom in Spartanburg, SC.  I confess I really love these, I love the copper and the slight turquoise glaze and the drawing that wraps around every side. Honestly, I can rarely say I love the outcome of my paintings, I love these. If they don’t sell at the show, you can eventually love them in our Etsy shop.
