Fun With Acrylics
Posted on November 18th, 2008 by Rose
This afternoon I created an abstract painting of the goddess Brigit. I began by squeezing several colors onto the canvas and then used various tools to spread the paint over layers of acrylic medium and scraps of torn magazines. As I Moved the paint around with the palette knives, this face started to emerge and then everything else fell into place.
The tools I used were palette knives, old plastic membership cards, plastic forks and a putty knife.

Fiery Arrow
“Brigit, excellent woman,
Flame golden, sparkling,
May she bear us to the eternal kingdom,
She the sun, fiery, radiant!”
Seventh-century Hymn to Saint Brigit
