Dare to be Free

'Dare to be free' - oil on canvas 12 inch square

This painting is a play with my oils and a semi-abstract idea. Also there is a dried flower made golden and Sgraffito. Finished the top of the painting with a cold wax protective layer that encapsules the flower at the same time.

Flowers to share ☼

Another one of my many things to share with you:

The Flower Girl ☼ - an upcycled flowerpress

after

The other day when I grabbed my old flowerpress to use some dried flowers for some art, I saw that the wooden plank had bend a bit and thought I could easily turn it over, then I also saw the other blank side of the wood and it screamed to have a new image on it ! and here she is :The Flower Girl
