and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.'

I painted this like I usually do my journal pages.... adding texture and mixing medias where I want to. The stars are scratched, and drawn with color pencils and oil pastels.
I'm in love with everything crackled, so I bravely crackled the whole surface.
I wasn't sure what will happen, so I was really happy with the result.
I finished it with layers of cold wax, which gave everything a dreamy feeling...
Most of you said that it feels "big", and you were right. It is painted on a 24"x36" canvas!
Biggest journal page ever!
Do you know about PPF? Check it out!
Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteThe crackle effect is spectacular and you are right that that is the biggest journal page ever..... I would hate to be carrying that journal around in my handbag - lol.

This is indeed dreamy!! Love both the pictures with you holding the painting (I had to look closely on the 2nd one).
ReplyDeleteAmazing painting ~ Wow!
ReplyDeletethanks, namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF ^_^
What a beautiful composition.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you eliminated some of your images and colors forces the viewer to concentrate on the elongation of the body, as well as the expression in the woman's face.
I love the textures you achieved with the layering of the wax and the crack effect.
Wow, the closer you get the more beautiful it gets.
ReplyDeleteWow I love how it turned out! And the crackle is great!
ReplyDeleteOoooh nice, very nice Zorana. Nice to see you, it's been a while. Love your work and the crackle effect is great. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I could think of more to say but I am so impressed...I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe long look and the composition are fantastic. Your image has such a serene look. So beautiful. I can only imagine the trepidation as you did the crackle effect. It turned out really great and has the texture of an old master painting.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful painting!! Love all the little touches, the Moon (and the quote.)
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for crackle, too!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
This is gorgeous! Love that it's so big as our dreams are really big sometimes. The dream effect of the painting gives it great depth and I LOVE the crackle finish!!
