These 8"x8" paintings were created on wood panels 1.5" deep. The raw wood was lightly stained to accentuate the natural wood grain. The Iris was then painted with acrylic. I then collaged over the painting with handpainted found papers, leaving some areas of the underpainting peeking through. Variegated gold leaf flakes embellish the center of each bloom. The surface is coated with a gloss top coat, and the edges of the panels are painted in a bronze metallic.  These unique and gorgeous pieces are ready for display - no need for framing.

I am in love with these new poppies!!!! The background wood was stained in shimmering metallic gold and pink paint to draw out the natural wood grain.  After sketching out the poppy in black, i lightly stamped the background with a sheet music print.  After I created a simple underpainting of the poppies, I collaged each flower with hand painted found papers and tissue, which I tore individually to line the contours of the flowers.  Each wood panel measures 8x8, 1.5 " deep, which are suitable for framing if desired, though the edges are finished in metallic.  The surface is coated with a gloss top coat, adding to a polished, finished look.   Enjoy!
