On my workdesk today another small canvas. I am still adding texture and scratchy marks to the background . I love texture paste and getting messy.
Some of you may remember this fellow from a few weeks back (Click Here to see how he was made). He is a large collaged piece using paint, paper, ink spray, and machine embroidered flowers.
I loved his face so thought I would do a much smaller canvas concentrating on his little smile. I don't know if Deer smile, but I see no reason why not :)

I like the way he is peeping shyly from the side, and he can certainly smile. Also the gold swirls give nice movement, they look as though they are collaged cord because they have a 3-D look.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute and I love the textures in the background. Is texture paste the same as modelling paste?
ReplyDeleteLove the gold spirals...they really enhance the background! And why shouldn't deer be happy? There are loads in the Savernake forest which I live next to. Every time I drive through, I see deer of all sizes and colours - there's a white stag in there. My mate has a photo of it!

Yes I love the deer painting. His pose is so alert, like he is about to bound away.
ReplyDeleteMorag he is adorable and your textured background is gorgeous, I can feel the wind and wildness in this!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing piece, filled with color and texture. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your canvas. The texture is amazing. I often use Artist Spackle, I find it very easy to use. I need to go back to look again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

deer would definitely smile if they knew they were the subject of such gorgeous artwork! actually, we humans are pretty pleased, too, lol! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, his face was my favorite part!
ReplyDeleteBoth of you canvasses are amazing and fabulous texture. I'm just starting to learn to add texture and it's scary but you make it look easy. The deers face is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteyour little smiling deer is very sweet, love the placement of him, it feels like he is peaking out of the canvass - great textures too :)
ReplyDeleteFamtastic. You are so creative. Your smiling deer is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the texture in the first. I have not heard of texture paste and now have it on my list of things to buy. As to your comment about deer smiling...artistic license says yes, he sure can. Enjoyed stopping by today. #64
ReplyDeleteDeer do indeed smile. I know my cats, dogs and horses smile, so why not deer?
