Mixed media, collage, art on hardboard canvas-Her Own Woman

Description

When I first started out, I did a lot of kinda edgy, bohemian art that had lots of quotes and I hope really found a place in some people's hearts. I let the commercial aspect of it all dictate what I did for the last couple of years. But now, I am back to just doing the art that speaks to me, and that I can share with others who maybe would like to have a piece to look at every day that speaks to them also.  

This piece is definitely a hybrid and is one, if not THE, most favorite piece I have ever ever done. It is partly digitized, mostly collaged, and I also used a hardboard canvas to mount it on. This is the best, longest lasting, most durable canvas that artists can use, because it is made entirely of wood. The sides are painted black and it is ready to be hung on the wall or set on a stand to display.  

I also mounted the collage directly onto a piece of an antique curtain. I left it rather edgy and uneven, because I felt that it reflected the attitude of the woman. Then I added some tiny heart lace, a velvet leaf, some beads and some scrim. The hardboard is highly textured and some of the texture will be seen in the piece because it shows through. I loved that.  

The canvas measures 8 x 10 inches.
