Messages in the Breeze, Summer Solstice

Begining of a new piece.
Hello patient blog readers, as usual my poor blog is a little quiet these days, although I am not.
This is the beginning of a new commissioned piece which I have just finished. Virtually all  my pieces start off this way, lots of layers of torn paper.



A while back I did a canvas called messages in the breeze, it was inspired by the old folklaw tales of dandelion seeds being carriers of messages for those loved ones we have lost. This is a new take on the idea, still including the dandelion seeds but using a moonlit sky. The photos show the canvas at various stages.



 And finally..... finished, Messages in the Breeze, Summer solstice.

    So beautiful and peaceful. Something about that sweet little cottage nestled on top of the cliff and that enchanting sky :D)

    Beautiful post and you have no idea how close to home this was for me and I didn't even know about this folklaw. As always those detailed foils express into stunning artwork! Stunning work!
