Mixed Media
January 26, 2014
I have been recently working on the idea that many of our old fairy tales have great parables about the plight of humankind. Very often I read stories of a woman who is placed in an impossible and oppressive position and felt that it was representative of women issues contemporarily and in history. This first painting using this idea representing the miller's daughter in Rumpelstiltskin.
It is mixed media using oil paints, gold pen on black gesso, lights, and melted plastic beads. It was first show cased at the FinneyWood Art walk on Valentine's Day, 2014.
