This week's theme for my 7 icads was chosen by my son and he chose carnival.
I started with some fun, colorful backgrounds using brushos, ink splatters...
This was on wednesday evening, I had had such a bad day but just sitting down with him and making these backgrounds lightened up my day.
The next following days I spent fiddling with focal points, in fact I made way much than 7 somethings but a lot didn't make the final curtain.
These did:
 |
| Amsterdam inks with black acrylic stencilling. |
 |
| brushos with a Rio carnival dancer. |
 |
| ecoline splatters with some collage elements. |
 |
| background is a napkin design, images are from a National Geographic magazine. |
 |
| black gesso with white stencilling, silhouettes from a Mardi Gras band. |
 |
| black gesso with gold wax stencilling. |
 |
| collage depecting a vintage carnival. |
As you may have noticed carnival took me all over the world, from Rio de Janeiro, over New Orleans and Venice to China and back in time.
These are just stunning!
