Alcira

This is a mixed media painting, 18'' x 24''. The size is unusual because I tend to work much bigger pieces. However, I had to use this much smaller size because I took the painting with me on a long trip overseas. I wanted the work with me instead of having to worry if my luggage was going to get lost as it usually does. I'm sure you know what I mean. Well, you may know that my paintings are of thick nature. Even though this work isn't in oil, this piece remains quite thick in texture. I named it after my mother's nickname, Alcira. When I showed it to her, she found it interesting. Actually she liked it a lot, but what's a mother supposed to say about her daughter's work? Great? Of course! So I'm not going by what she said about this painting. I'm going by what I think. I like the painting, but that's why art is so darn great. It's distinctive. All of us have different tastes, and that's okay. The photo of this painting isn't that great because I used my Ipod instead of my regular camera. My husband has my regular camera with him in New York. I'll get both of them back in a few days. Thus I will update the post with a much better photo. In the mean time, this will have to do the job. Oh yeah, I haven't posted anything in over a year. I've had a very busy life, and that's all there's to it. I'm sure you've a very busy life too. Enjoy the painting, enjoy life.
