Final Step!

IT'S DONE!!!

And I love it!  This was great fun, but not without it's hiccups.  Originally, after doing the moon face, I painted purple fairies with a star-shaped glow around them.  You need fairies in an enchanted forest, don't you?  Well, I was REALLY unsure of them.  Then my hubby came home and said, "are you finished with those fairies?"  Uh-Oh.  That's a leading question, if I've ever heard one!  When I told him that I thought they needed some serious tweaking, he said, "oh good, because they look like little purple demons"!  AAAAIIIIGGGHHHH!!!!

So, the little purple demons got painted over and I went instead with a full night-sky, complete with whirls and swirls. Soooo much better!

I  hope the ballerinas love it as much as I do!

First Step

Remember the two canvases that had the circus tent on them?  It's time to recycle!  These canvases are the backdrop for a small ballet, and this year I'm told they're dancing in an Enchanted Forest.  So, the canvases got painted black, and now I'm working on a night sky to go behind the forest.  Surely an Enchanted Forest needs a smiling moon?!

I'll post another pic when the whole thing is done.  Lovin' how fun this is!

Temporary Art

Pay no attention to that goofy looking person on the left.  I painted these canvases for a small ballet troupe to dance around.  Their theme had something to do with a circus, so they requested a giant circus tent.  It was great fun!

That was last year.  These canvases are now back in my garage, painted all black, waiting for the next layer.  This year they're doing an enchanted forest (they provide the trees, I provide the background).  I'll take pics when I'm done so you can see.  I'm not totally sure yet what I'll paint....
